INTRODUCTION. 



This book has no pretension to enter the lists as a rival or opposition to 
Appleton, Murray or Baedeker, the well-known Continental Guide-Books. 
Its object is to be the handy guide and companion of practical information for 
the Tourist en route or on his arrival. Once settled at his place of destination, 
he will have access to fuller guides and descriptions to supplement the mere 
indications given in this Avork. 

It was formerly thought necessary to give copious directions to travellers 
for their journey, when travelling was slow, difficult and occasional ; but 
now that rapidity, ease and frequency are in the ascendant, a few hints will 
suffice. 

First in importance to the traveller is money. A sufficient provision in 
any currency, or of any character, is easily convertible into current coin in 
any state, city or town on the continent of Europe, through bankers, money- 
changers and the proprietors of hotels, who will readily take and exchange 
moneys of almost any country. 

The American traveller has usually his letters of credit, which speak for 
themselves ; otherwise, French gold or English bank-notes are the best 
money to take into Germany. The former circulates freely everywhere. A 
very little attention to the money-table of this volume will make the traveller 
quite master of the subject. Perhaps nowhere in Europe does money and ex- 
change vary more than at Vienna, where the fluctuations are frequent, rapid 
and great. 

Passports used to be the great nuisance and subject of grief to the traveller. 
Now they are seldom asked for, but they are frequently useful to prove iden- 
tity, to claim letters, and even to obtain admittance of favor to places out of 
the usual course. They cost little, occupy little space, and therefore had bet- 
ter be had. 

Difference of language is not as much an obstacle now as formerly. In 
North Germany, on the Rhine, and in the beaten track of tourists, English 
and French are almost universally spoken by waiters, attendants and servants, 
at hotels, cafes and restaurants — at Vienna not so much so. The upper 
classes are excellent linguists, and nearly all speak English with fluency and 
purity. In the commercial world French is more generally known ; but at 
many of the places of entertainment, restaurants, cafes, &c., only German 
waiters are to be met with. At the principal hotels, one or more of the wait- 



ii Introduction. 

ers always, and the hall porter generally, speak English as well as French. 
The trayeller, however, with a knowledge of German, is of course more inde- 
pendent than he who is obliged to have recourse to an interpreter. 

The hotels in Germany have immensely improved of late years, and, except 
those of Switzerland, are the best in Europe. Those mentioned in this Guide 
may be relied on, and where a recommendation is given, in exceptional cases, 
it is from well tried merit, the author in the selection having been guided by 
his personal experience. 

At the large hotels a private sitting-room, except in case of a family, is not 
necessary, the bed-rooms being fitted for sitting-rooms as well. They are well 
furnished, and the attendance good — the waiters being often, by education, gen- 
tlemen. 

Of this the writer had a striking proof, on coming down one morning to an 
early breakfast in the coffee-room of a large German hotel, by overhearing a 
conversation between two well-dressed young men on a concert of the pre- 
vious day. The criticisms were in good taste, and evinced a perfect know- 
ledge of music and a delicate appreciation of poetry. The genius of Shakespeare 
and Schiller were next made subject of discussion, and both parties showed a 
cultivated taste in their arguments. The conversation was most pleasant and 
instructive, yet the parties themselves were waiters, and two of the most atten- 
tive in the establishment. They thus serve their apprenticeship before becom- 
ing proprietors themselves ; and a hotel proprietor in Germany takes rank 
with the best commercial men of the place. 

It will contribute much to the comfort of the traveller if he will as much as 
possible conform to the habits and customs of the country he visits as to hours 
and meals. At Vienna, for instance, everybody (except at state or fashion- 
able parties) dines between 12 and 2 ; and at present there is only one table 
d^hote amongst all the hotels; between 2 and 8, therefore, visitors must put 
up with scant or indifferent fare. Even suppers are early — generally about 9 
o'clock ; so that in fact the early dinner may pass for luncheon, and the sup- 
per for a late dinner. At hotels on the road there are sometimes two tables 
d^hote—one at 12 or 1, and a later one for tourists — the first being the best, 
and the last the dearest. 

Railroads now intersect Germany in every direction. The carriages are 
roomy and good, the second class being quite as good as those of first class in 
England or France ; and a journey through Germany is now a matter of easy 
comfort. The through trains from London and Paris to Vienna, are fast and 
well organized, and afford the best means of conveyance for such as have only 
Vienna for their object ; but the traveller with time, taste and money, will do 
well to break his journey at some of the most interesting places and cities* on 
the way. Heavy luggage should be sent on direct, the traveller only keeping 
such as is necessary for his daily use. The greatest bore in travelling is un- 
necessary luggage. One good-sized portmanteau is better than several small 
packages j a distinguishing mark should be adopted, and, as mistakes with 
luggage are almost the rule instead of the exception in Germany, it will be 



Introduction. iii 

prudent to have name and destination in a legible hand on a label as well. 
Lost luggage is generally found, but its temporary loss subjects the traveller 
to detention sometimes at inconvenient places. A thoroughly independent 
traveller, in the summer months, is one who takes a light valise only, which 
will go under the seat of the carriage. 

In 1870, the writer had a three months' tour through Northern and South- 
ern Germany, visiting the principal cities of both. His luggage consisted of 
a valise not weighing 30 lbs., which contained all that was necessary from 
first to last. He had neither rug, overcoat, waterproof or umbrella — he never 
felt the want of either. At arrivals and departures he was independent of 
porters, cabs and omnibuses, and he saved 5/. in money, and probably several 
days of time, and was spared discussions, anxieties and disputes. 

In most respects travelling is now so easy, that children are sent on long 
journeys across the continent, through different States, with little or no 
difficulty. 

An abundant stock of good humor — a pleasant smile, and the offer of a 
cigar — will often remove apparently insurmountable difficulties that money 
would not overcome. 

The American Consular Establishment is so diffuse and Avell organized, 
that the citizen of the United States will seldom be far distant from such assist- 
ance or relief as he may require. 

Good Guide Books will be found a convenience. The restricted limits 
of this guide must necessarily contract its compass in the way of descriptions, 
and leave the traveller to seek in other works what fuller or other details he 
may require. The best guide books to Southern Germany are Appleton's 
European Guide Book, 2 vols. ; Murray's Hand Book to Southern Germany 
(London, 1873), price 12.s., a very excellent and exhaustive guide, compiled 
with the greatest care — valuable as a travelling companion, and invaluable as 
a library book of reference afterwards ; Baedeker's Southern Germany and 
Austria (Coblenz), 1871, 5s., more condensed than the former, but very 
good — it is published in three languages, German, Erench and English, and 
is of a more cosmopolitan character than Murray's, which is especially suit- 
able for English tastes and requirements. 

Cox^s House of Austria, 3 vols., is not a guide book of places, in one sense 
of the word, but gives most graphic accounts of interesting facts and details in 
connection with the history of Germany and Austria, and will enable the trav- 
'eller to appreciate better the historical references to past events so frequently 
met with in buildings, galleries, &c. The visitor will therefore do well to 
read up in this work for the knowledge he may be deficient in with regard to 
the history of especial localities. 

The citizen of the United States, as a rule, will land at Cork, Liverpool, 
Southampton or Havre. The following routes are sketched, from the several 
points indicated ; but as great changes are contemplated on the different 
lines, with a view to facilitate the traffic with Vienna, the traveller is recom- 
mended on leaving to provide himself with a local time-table, or test by in-

NOTIFICATION TO TRAVELLERS. 

American citizens visiting the Austrian Capital for the first time will meet 
with every attention and obtain every information on all subjects connected 
with routes, residents or customs that may be useful to render their visit agree- 
able and profitable, from Mr. De Bernardy, the American and Continental 
Agent at Vienna. Letters addressed to that gentleman will have prompt at- 
tention.

The traveller from Dublin has 
choice of four routes to England as 
follows : — 

]|st. Kingstown (by rail from West- 
land Bow at 6.15 A. M. and 6,45 p.m.) 
to Holyhead, 3^ hours, by the City of 



Dublin— Holyhead — Liver'pool. 



Dublin mail steamers, magnificent 
vessels of 2000 tons each, morning at 
6.45, evening 7.15 ; fares 12s. and 8s. 

2d. Dublin (North Wall) to Holy- 
head, 5j hours, at hours according to 
tide ; fare 5s. 'od. and 3s. 

3d. Dublin to Liverpool, & hours, 
from North Wall at hours according 
to tide ; fares 13s. 6c/. and 5s. 

4th. Dublin to London, 4 days, 
calling at Falmouth, Plymouth, South- 
ampton, Portsmouth and Gravesend, 
twice a week from North Wall ; fares 
1/. and 15s. This route is but little fre- 
quented by tourists ; it is tedious, and 
the steamers leave much to desire ; in 
fine weather however the coasting from 
station to station is pleasant. 

Dublin and London, direct through 
tickets via Kingstown and Holyhead in 
12 hours ; fares, first-class, 3/. 2s. 
6<i. ; second-class, 2/. 5s. 6o?. Beds 
are provided on the mail steamers for 
travellers who wish to sleep on board 
the night previous to starting. 

Holyhead. — Population 8500 ; a 
small seaport in the Island of Angle- 
sey, 225 miles from London, of little 
note or interest except as the station 
of the magnificent steamers for the 
mail service from Ireland (Dublin and 
Kingstown). 

The Royal Hotel at the station 
ofl^ers fair accommodation, and the 
famed Welsh mutton is here eaten in 
perfection. 

The steamers arrive from Kingstown 
at 11 A. M. and 11 p. m., and leave 
for same destination at 3.15 a. m. and 
2.15 p, M. The mail trains, in con- 
nection with the arrival of the steam- 
ers, leave Holyhead at 11. 40 a. m. and 
11.55 p. M., arriving in London at 
6.25 p. M. and 6.45 a. m. The road 
as far as Chester is most interesting, a 
great part in view of the sea and with 
occasional grand mountain scenery. 



From Steamer at Liverpool to 
London. 

Liverpool, after London, from 
which it is distant 202 miles, is the 
most important port of England, with 
a population of upwards of 450,000. 

U. S. Consulate : Lucius Fail- 
child, Consid. Richard Paulson, Con- 
sular Clerk. 

Hotels. — The Adelphi. The Wash- 
ington. The London and North- Western. 

The growth of Liverpool, from an 
insignificant village into the second 
port of the British Empire, has been 
wondrously rapid ; in 1565, it had but 
one church ; in 1820, seven ; it now 
numbers upwards of forty-five. 

The Docks, perhaps the finest in the 
world, extend upwards of five miles 
in length, and are found insufiicient 
for the enormous traffic. Liverpool 
is the port of departure for numerous 
Trans-Atlantic and other ocean lines 
of steamers. It contains but few pub- 
lic buildings to call attention except 
the Exchange, the Town Hall and St. 
George's Hall.

Hotels. — The hotels of London 
are numerous, of various degrees of 
merit, and very difficult to class. 
Mivarfs is, perhaps, the most ai'isto- 
cratic, being frequented by princes, 
potentates, peers and millionaires ; it 
has little of outward show, consisting, 
indeed, of numerous houses, with in- 
ter-communication, and so adapted 
for purposes of hotel life. The Lang- 
ham is a palatial building, well situated 
in the best part of the West-End, or 
fashionable part of London, and it is 
much frequented by the higher class 
of American visitors. The Great 
Western Hotel._ at the terminus of the 
Great Western Railway, Paddington, 
is remote from the centre of the Me- 
tropolis, but conveyance by cab, car 
and underground railway, goes far to 
remove that objection. The Charing 
Cross is the most central of all the 
London hotels, being in the very 
centre of the Metropolis ; it is large 
and well conducted, but somewhat 
noisy, and the attendance indifferent. 
The Grosvenor is another large and 
well-conducted hotel, well situated for 
travellers going onward to the Conti- 
nent by the Short Sea Route, via 
Folkestone or Dover, Boulogne or Ca- 
lais. The City Terminus Hotel, at 
the Cannon street terminus, in the 
heart of the city, is well situated for 
travellers having business appoint- 
ments. This is another terminus o|" 



London. 



-9 



the, Short Sea Eoute last mentioned. 
The Queen^s Hotel has less pretension 
than the preceding, but it is a com- 
fortable house, immediately opposite 
the General Post-Office. St. Martins 
le Grand; The Golden Cross, Charing 
Cross ; Morley^s Hotel, Charing Cross ; 
Bridge House Hotel, London Bridge ; 
Nelson^s Hotel, Gt. Portland street, 
are all good in their way, but of more 
moderate proportions and pretensions. 
HaxaU's Exeter Hall Hotel is much 
frequented by Americans. 

Restaurants and Eating-Hou- 
SES. — Although much has been done 
to improve these of late years, there is 
still room for improvement. Amongst 
the principal establishments of the 
sort the following are prominent : 
The Wellington, Cockspurst., facing 
Pall Mall ; the St. James, Regent st. 
and Piccadilly ; Simpson'' s, Strand, 
with a smoking and chess-room at- 
tached ; Spiel's Sf Pond, Ludgate Hill 
Station ; the London, Pleet street, 
corner of Chancery lane ; the Rain- 
how, opposite the latter — a narrow en- 
trance, but well conducted. At most 
of these a good dinner of fish, joint, 
vegetables, tart, cheese, &c., can be had 
at prices ranging from 3s. to 5s. The 
food is good and the supply liberal. 

Theatres. — Her Majesty's, Hay- 
market, destroyed by fire a few 
years since ; rebuilt in an elegant 
style, but not at present open. (For 
operas only.) Covent Garden, now 
the Italian Opera House, one of the 
largest and finest theatres in Europe. 
Drurij Lane, familiary known as " Old 
Drury,'''' and with Covent Garden ex- 
clusively styled ^'- Royal, '^ formerly 
for the legitimate drama, tragedies, 
comedies, — now used for spectacles, 
dramas, pantomimes, &c. Haymarket, 
for comedies, farces, and occasionally 
the serious drama. Mr. Sothern is a 
popular actor at this theatre. Lyceum, 
Strand. Olympic, in Wych street. 
Opera Comique, Queen's. Gaiety, 
Strand. Charing Cross. Strand The- 
atre, Strand. Vaudeville, 404 Strand. 
Adel phi, Strand. Court, Sloane street. 
Princess\ 73 Oxford street. Prince 
of Wales. The Standard, 204 Shore- 



ditch. St. James\ King street, St. 
James. Royalty — French perform- 
ance — Soho. Holborn Theatre. Hen- 
gler^s Circus, Argyle street — horse- 
manship and other feats. Grande 
Cirque, Holborn, do. do. 

The prices of admission vary as do 
the nature and character of the per- 
fortnance at each theatre. The visitor 
will do well to consult the bills of the 
day and the announcements in the 
daily papers. 

The most prominent of the theatres 
are Covent Garden and Drury Lane, 
the Haymarket, Adelphi, Court and 
Prince of Wales. 

The Alhamhra is a Theatre Caf£, 
where refreshments are supplied dur- 
ing the performance. 

There are Music Halls in various 
parts of London. The principal are 
the Oxford, Oxford street ; the Can- 
terbury, Lambeth; Weston^ s, Holborn, 
&c., &c. 

The traveller merely passing through 
London will do well to utilize his time 
by selecting the most prominent ob- 
jects of interest, amongst which we 
will enumerate -.-tt 

Windsor Palace, distant 22 miles 
from London, easily accessible by two 
lines of railway. Tickets to view the 
State Apartments can be had gratis 
on application at the printseller's, op- 
posite the entrance. St. George's 
Chapel and the fine Terraces are al- 
ways open, free. After viewing the 
Palace, take an open carriage for a 
drive of three miles across the mag- 
nificent Park to Virginia Water, and 
return to town from the Station there. 
This will be a day well spent. 

The British Museum (open daily, 
free). Great Russell street, Blooms- 
bury. The Reading-Room is only 
seen by tickets, which can be had on 
application, from the employee at the 
lobby on entering. This room is a 
sight to be remembered ; it is the finest 
room in the world. All the other 
apartments are open free. 

The Crystal Palace, six miles 
from town, originally intended for 
purposes of instruction and science, 
now converted into a vast Exhibition, 



10 



From Liverpool to London. 



where a day can be well spent in 
viewing its varied contents and the 
really jfine Gardens in which it is situ- 
ated. Orations, Concerts and Specta- 
cles are occasionally given. The 
Water-Works are unequalled after 
Versailles, and a Refreshment Buffet 
and Restaurant enables the visitor to 
feast mind and body at the same 
time. 

The Albert Hall, on the site of 
the First International Exhibition 
Building, at Kensington, a vast pile, 
designed for monster concerts and 
meetings, is worth seeing ; there is no 
other such building in Europe. Op- 
posite to it is the Albert Memorial., ele- 
gant in design and rich in sculpture, 
ornament and gilding. Adjoining 
the two is the International Annual 
Exhibition, entitled to a passing visit. 

London Breweries. — Those of 
Whitbread, in Chiswell street, and 
Meux, in Tottenham Court Road, are 
easiest of access, and the visitor will 
receive every attention on presenting 
himself. No introduction is neces- 
sary. 

Other places of note are 

The National Gallery of Paintings 
and Scidpture, open free. Trafalgar 
Square. 

Westminster Abbey. 

St. Paid^s Cathedral. 

The Houses oj" Parliament. — (Should 
a traveller wish to assist at the debate 
in either House, a letter addressed to 
any one member will meet with prompt 
and courteous attention.) 

Murray's "London as it is" will 
be found a good guide to the sights 
and objects of interest in the British 
Metropolis.

GENERAL INFORMATION. 

Passengers luggage may be booked 
from London to be examined in Paris, 
where the officers of customs attend 
for its delivery on the arrival of the 
trains that are in correspondence with 
the boats, or it will be delivered at 



any time during the attendance of the 
Custom-House Officers, which is from

cept Sunday. Luggage also may be 
booked from Paris to London, but it 
will be examined by the Customs Officers 
at Newhaven. It will be put on board 
at Dieppe by the Company. 

It is of great importance that pas- 
sengers should have the whole of their 
luggage registered in London for 
Paris and Dieppe, as generally there 
is not sufficient time between the arri- 
val of the boats and departure of the 
train for the examination to be made 
at Dieppe. A registration fee of ^d. 
to Dieppe, and Is. to Paris, is charged 
to each passenger, with an additional 
charge to Paris passengers of one 
penny on each package. 

Passengers having booked their lug- 
gage cannot open or in any way inter- 
fere with it except at the places of ex- 
amination, Paris or Newhaven, unless 
they give up the ticket, when the re»

the Customs will not allow any kind 
of merchandise to be shipped or un-

are particularly requested to have 
their luggage fully addressed, and to 
see it pi-operly labelled. 

The company will not be responsi- 
ble for any luggage except that of the 
description mentioned in the Act of 
Parliament, unless the same is booked 
and paid for according to its value, 
and a description of its nature made 
at the time of booking. Between

A. M. and 3 p. m., register luggage at 
the same fee as mentioned above.

class tickets can travel between Paris 
and Dieppe by any ordinary train, and 
passengers holding second and third 
class tickets can travel by any adver- 
tised second and third class ordinary 
trains. The same facilities are given 
between London and Newhaven. 

Tickets from Paris, Rouen or Dieppe 
to London, are available to any Sta- 
tion on the Brighton Company's Line, 
but care must be taken to inform the 
Station Master at Newhaven, in order 
that the luggage might be properly re- 
labelled.

from Newhaven are according to Lon- 
don time, those from Dieppe by Paris, 
which is ten minutes in advance of

before the time of starting, to book 
their luggage.

to Paris. These tickets are available 
by any train, according to class, be- 
tween Dieppe and Paris. 

The Hoiifleur route is via Little- 
hampton, and all others are via New- 
haven and Dieppe. 

Passengers can travel via Brighton 
with these tickets, on payment of the 
local fare between Brighton and New- 
haven.

INFORMATION TO PASSENGERS 
TO THE CONTINENT, via HAR- 
WICH.— REGISTRATION OF PAS- 
SENGERS' BAGGAGE. 

General Notice. — The Registra- 
tion of Baggage saves the passenger 
from all trouble and expense of landing 
and shipping the baggage and convey- 
ing it between the train and boat, har- 
bor dues, and other imposts hitherto 
made ; secures an allowance (25 kilos, 
or 56 lbs.) of baggage free of charge ; 
also the privilege of paying before de- 
parture the charge for conveyance of 
excess baggage, according to a fixed 
through rate. This registration may 
be made to the place of destination, or 
from any station to any other station 
on the Continent at which the Through 
Ticket allows the traveller to stop ; 
but where the passenger intends to 
stop short of the final destination shown, 
by his Through Ticket, he should re- 
gister only to the first point at which 
he desires to break the journey. 

Baggage is registered from London 
by the Trains running in connection with 
the Boats, but only on the production 
of the Passenger's Through Ticket at 
the Registration Office ten minutes be- 
fore the time fixed for the departure 
of the train. Passengers are recom- 
mended to register their baggage in 
all cases. The Company cannot un- 
dertake to register baggage, unless 
the passenger, with the baggage and 
Through Ticket, be at the Bishopsgate 
Station ten minutes in advance of the 
time fixed for the departure of the 
train. The baggage ticket must be 
given up before the baggage can be 
delivered at destination. Each pack- 
age should have the name and address 
of the owner distinctly marked thereon, 
and all old-luggage labels should be 
removed. Merchandise registered as 
baggage is liable to detention and 
seizure by the customs ; and passen- 
gers are hereby cautioned against re- 
gistering articles of the description of 
merchandise, or that are not for per- 
sonal use. Passengers should person- 
ally claim their baggage on arriving 
at the point to which registei-ed, and 
give notice immediately to the station 
master if anything is wrong, giving a 



28

list of the contents of any packages 
missing. 

GENERAL INFORMATION. 

Officers provided by the Company to 
pass Baggage. — Passengers are recom- 
mended, for their own protection, to 
avail themselves of the company's 
agent, at Harwich, who makes no 
charge for passing baggage not liable 
to duty, and to give their keys to him 
alone. They are at liberty to pass 
their own entries, or employ other 
agents, should they prefer doing so ; 
but the company is in no way respon- 
sible for any detention or inconveni- 
ence that may arise from other than 
their own agent being employed. 

Saloon Family Carriage. — A First 
Class Saloon Family Carriage, with 
ante-room and suitable fittings, se- 
cond class compartment for servants, 
and separate compartment for lug- 
gage, is kept at the Bishopsgate Ter- 
minus, and can be sent to any part of 
the line on application being made to 
the Superintendent's Office, Bishops- 
gate, at least 24 hours before the car- 
riage is required. The charge for the 
use of this carriage will not be less 
than for four first class and four se- 
cond class adult fares, the minimum 
being 60s. Servants and excess lug- 
gage will be charged in addition to the 
fares.

SIXTH ROUTE. 

London to Vienna, by the River 
Route. 

(The Thames., The Meuse, The Bhine, 
The Maine and The Danube). 

This route will be no doubt a little 
more expensive, and occupy more time 
than any other route, but it will un- 
doubtedly prove the easiest, most va- 
ried, picturesque and interesting of 
any for the traveller of taste and re- 
finement with means at his command.

The stopping-places on this route

three at the latter j for sleeping-places, 
Aix-la-Chapelle or Cologne, Passau 
and Linz, may be selected. The tra- 
veller will thus become acquainted by 
this route with five attractive rivers. 
The Thames and its commerce, the 
Meuse and its many beauties of scenery, 
the Rhine and its picturesque and ro- 
mantic borders, the Maine and the 
Danube. Of the latter river the fol- 
lowing description is borrowed from 
Murray's admirable Hand-Book for 
Southern Germany : — 

"The Danube is the chief river of 
Germany, and is second to none in 
Europe, save the Volga, yet the navi- 
gation of it has hitherto borne no pro- 
portion to its rank and size. The ves- 
sels on it, previously to 1830 when the 
first steamer was launched, were almost 
exclusively bai'ges of unpainted planks, 
valued only as timber to be broken up. 
Being intended for merchandise, the 
comfort of travellers was little cared 



for, and but few availed themselves of 
the meagre accommodations. Yet a 
portion of its banks discloses scenery 
as striking as any on the Rhine, in- 
deed many travellers are of the opi- 
nion that the defile at Weltenberg, 
above Ratisbon ; Passau, and the defile 
between it and Linz ; the scene around 
the Strudel and Wirbel, Molk and 
Diirrenstein — equal the Rhine scenery. 
It must be confessed that these beau- 
ties are set further apart than those 
of the Rhine, and that the traveller 
must go farther to seek them, and that 
there is no such continuous chain of 
grand views as that between Bingen 
and Coblenz. The Danube however 
is distinguished from the Rhine by its 
vast forests feathering down to the wa- 
ter's edge from the summit of high 
mountains which confine the river on 
both sides ; and in addition to the pic- 
turesque ruins of ancient castles, it is 
diversified with numerous monasteries, 
palaces in extent and splendor, and 
mighty monuments of ecclesiastical 
wealth and power. Such are the con- 
vents of Molk, Gottweich and Kloster- 
neuberg. In historical associations, 
the Danube does not yield to the Rhine. 
It was for a long time a Roman fron- 
tier ; its valley has been the high road 
of the barbarous hordes of Attila and 
of the armies of Charlemagne, Gus- 
tavus Adolphus, Solyman the Magni- 
ficent, Marlborough and Napoleon ; 
its shores have echoed at one time with 
the hymns of the Pilgrims of the 
Cross, and at another with the enthu- 
siastic shouts of the turbaned followers 
of the Prophet, and its waters have 
been dyed in turn with the blood of 
Romans, Huns, Germans, Swedes, 
Turks, French and English." 

Southampton, a rising and 
thriving seaport, 77 miles from Lon- 
don. Population 55,000. Southamp- 
ton is the station of departure for the 
Royal Mail steamships to the West 
Indies, and port of call for numerous 
American steamship companies. It 
has of late years become a place of 
considerable importance in maritime 
commerce, and the traffic in transit 



30 



From London to Vienna. 



through it to France and the Channel 
Islands is very considerable. The com- 
munication between Southampton and 
the Isle of Wight is kept up by nume- 
rous steamers, small and slow, leaving 
much to be desired. The traveller hav- 
ing spare time can pleasantly occupy 
it by taking the steamer to Cowes and 
Ryde — an excursion of a few hours 
only. 

U. S. Consulate : William Thom- 
son, Consul. 

Hotels. — Radley^s. The South- 
western, adjoining the station. The 
Dolphin in the Town. The Clarendon. 

TTew Haven, a small seaport, 
56J miles from London, 8 miles from 
Brighton. Population 2000. The town 
offers nothing whatever to interest the 
traveller. The Steam Packet Quay is 
alongside the Custom-House and South 
Coast Railway Terminus, and London 
and Paris Hotel all under one roof. 
In case of bad weather or detention, 
the traveller will find comfort and at- 
tention in the hotel accommodation ; 
there are frequent trains to London and 
to Brighton. 

Folkestone, an ancient seaport, 
70 miles from London. Population 
10,000, Offers little to attract the 
stranger ; it is a somewhat picturesque 
old town with tortuous, narrow and 
steep streets j its importance is chiefly 



derived from the passenger traffic with 
France, which is considerable, there 
being two departures each way daily. 
Hotels. — The Pavilion, near the 
harbour. The West Cliff. Both well 
spoken of. 

Dover, 88 miles from London by 
rail, 72 by road. Population 30,000. 
The port for the packet station for the 
mail service with the Continent of 
Europe, and a fashionable place of re- 
sort in the summer season, being one 
of the favorite watering-places for the 
inhabitants of the Metropolis. The 
Harbor of Refuge is on an extensive 
scale, and the Admiralty Pier, where 
the steamers embark and disembark 
their passengers at all states of the 
tide, is a noble specimen of solid 
masonry. The Esplanade is a fine, 
wide promenade, extending upwards 
of a mile along the Beach, which is 
provided with every convenience, in- 
cluding apartments for bathing.

FRANCE. 



Calais is perhaps the most familiar 
French Port frequented by British and 
American travellers, and the nearest 
to England, the channel at this point 
being only 21 miles across. Calais is 
distant 186 miles from Paris, with 
which it has two lines of communica- 
tion by Mail : the one by St. Omer, 
the other by Boulogne and Abbeville; 
both meeting at Amiens; several de- 
partures each way daily ; time occu- 
pied 5 J hours. Calais, with the ad- 
jacent township of St. Pierre, has a 
population of about 22,000 ; it is a 
thriving little town not altogether de- 
serving the ill name it has obtained for 
dirt and bad smells, and a few hours 
may agreeably be spent in viewing its 
Church built by the English ; the Toion 
Hall, Museum, etc. The room occu- 
pied by Sterne in the old Hotel Dessin 
(now used for municipal purposes) in 
the Rue Royale, and where several of 
the scenes in "The Sentimental Jour- 
ney" are stated to have occurred, can 
be readily seen and will interest the 
traveller. 

A considerable trade in timber and 
blonde race is carried on at Calais. 

U. S. Consular Agency (under 
Consulate at Paris) : — J. P. Vendroux, 
Agent. 

Hotels. — Dessin, the best and un- 
der high patronage. Meurice's, a good 
second-rate house of cosmopolitan 
character. Flandre, a commercial 
house, clean, cheap and with a good 
table d'hote. Buffet, at the station on 
the harbor, very good ; beds can be 
had. 

Boulogne, distant from Paris 168 
miles. Population 40,000.

tagnie, Consul. Jos. Fontaine, Vice- 
Consul. 

Hotels. — Pavilion. Imperial,

Boulogne has rapidly risen in im- 
portance ; from being a small fishing- 
town, it has become a thriving and 
attractive city, much frequented by the 
English, who constitute an important 
3 



item in its population. The Upper 
Town, surrounded by walls which af- 
ford a pleasant promenade, is quaint 
and quiet, little visited or known by 
travellers, all the hotels, shops and 
buisness establishments being in the 
Lower Town, where a continual move- 
ment is kept up by the frequent (not 
less than 8 and sometimes 10) arrivals 
and departures of steamers from and 
to England, via New Haven and Lon- 
don. The traveller will find a good 
English bookstore and libraiy at 
Merriview's, Rue Napoleon. 

Travellers not desirous of making 
any stay at Boulogne, had better drive 
direct to the railway station, f of a 
mile distant, where there is a good 
Buffet. 

Steamers to London daily according 
to tide, in 8 or 10 hours; fares lis. 
and 8s. The boats are not large, and 
they are at times inconveniently 
crowded.

■ ing to tide ; average passage 2 hours.

Hotels. — Grand, Hotel des Bains 
on the Beach. Royal and Victoria, 
near the landing-place of the steamers, 
convenient for travellers who only re- 
quire a meal or intend a short stay. 

Dieppe has but little trade. Of late 
years it has become a fashionable and 
expensive watering-place for Parisian 
opulence, and the passenger traffic 
with England is considerable. There 
are few public buildings, and none 
deserving much attention or descrip- 
tion. There are pleasant walks in tho 
environs, the more prominent and at- 
tractive being to the Chateau d'Arques, 
distant about 4 miles, and to the vil- 
lage of Varengeville. 

Ivory carving is one of the special- 
ties of Dieppe, and is brought to great 
perfection.

Havre is the most thriving and pros- 
perous maritime city in the French 
dominions, although comparatively 
of modern date. Its population has 
more than doubled in the last fifty 
years, partly owing to the removal of 
the former city walls, so bringing 
within its limits the former outlying 
suburbs. Some of the new buildings 
are handsome, with considerable pre- 
tension to architectural beauty, the 
most prominent being the Theatre. 
But the interest and importance of 
Havre is derived from its trade, which 
represents fully one-fourth of that of 
all France. The docks are spacious, 
and are being continually increased 
and improved to satisfy the daily in- 
creasing requirements of its trade. 
The principal promenade of the town 
is the Pier. 

Havre is the chief port of arrival 
and departure for France of the ship- 
ping for the United States. There 
was formerly direct river communica- 
tion by steam with Paris. But the 
steamers now stop at Rouen, 57 miles 
distant ; the hours vary according to 
the tide. There is also steam com- 
munication with Sc. Malo, Cherbourg, 
Rotterdam, Hamburg, Copenhagen and 
St. Petersburg. Also, to London, once 
a week, 18 hours. Fares ll.s. and 8s.

The capital of Normandy, situated 
on the Seine, a fine, interesting and 
important city, admirably located in a 
beautiful and picturesque country, the 
centre of the cotton district or manu- 
factories of France. The old parts of 
the city are most characteristic of a 
remote period of quaint architecture, 
but the spirit of improvement is fast 
clearing away these remains of anti- 
quity. 

The Cathedral and the Church of 
St. Ouen well deserve careful attention, 
and should not on any account be 
passed over. There are numerous 
agreeable walks in the neighborhood, 
and a day devoted to Rouen will be 
well spent, and leave none but agree- 
able impressions. 

Rail to Paris, in 2.40 hours. Ex- 
press. Fares 16/r. 75 c. ; 12/?-. 50 c. 

St. Malo, distant from Paris 280 
miles. Population 11,000. A quaint 
sombre stronghold, formerly, if not 
much belied, a nest of pirates and 
smugglers — now a sluggish town do- 
ing a brisk export trade in eggs, but- 
ter, fruit, &c.. for the English market, 
with a moderate market passenger 
traffic for the Channel Islands. It 
was the birth-place of Chateaubriand, 
and his tomb is a characteristic one 
on a rock surrounded by the sea at 
high water. The town of St. Servan 
across the harbor is dull and dreary, 
but many English and some American 
families have made it their residence, 
chiefly for reasons of economy. 

The rise and fall of the tide is re- 
markable here, there being at high 
tide 40 or 50 feet of water in the chan- 
nel, which at low water is crossed dry- 
footed. 

Hotels. — De France — in which 
Chateaubriand was born. Franklin —

St. Nazare, 40 miles from Nantes,

of the steamships of the French Com-

respects an uninteresting and unim-

not have any occasion or need to pro- 
long his stay, as he will probably make 
Nantes his resting-place.

Paimheuf and St. Nazare are the

it has in itself considerable trade and 
a large amount of shipping. 

The Principal Buildings are the 
Cathedral which dates from the fif- 
teenth century, containing some fine 
monuments, and which will repay a 
visit. 

The Castle, The Hotel de la Prefec- 
ture, The Quays, Bridges, etc., are all 
worthy of attention. 

The Museum of Paintings contains 
some of great merit. 

There are steamers to Angers and 
to Tours, but against stream the pro- 
gress is slow, and in summer liable to 
interruption from want of water.

Hotel du Louvre, Rue de Rivoli ; the 
Hotel Meurice, Rue de Rivoli ; Hotel

good) ; Hotel Bristol, Place Vendome, 
an aristocratic establishment, fre- 
quented by magnates of rank and 
fortune ; Hotel Vouillemont, Rue des 
Champs Elysees ; Hotel Afirabeau, Rue 
de la Paix. Most of these hotels have 
tables d'hote. 

Restaurants abound, and are of 
rank and character to suit all tastes 
and all purses ; those that are good 
are dear ; those that are cheap are 
nasty ; and it requires some skill to 
steer between the two. 

Amongst the best are the Caf^ 
Riche and the Cafe Anglais on the 
Boulevards ; the Voisin, Rue St. Ho- 
nore ; Durand^s, Place de la Made-

chief port of Belgiuji, an ancient city 
of most interesting character, histori- 
cally and archasologically. 

The Principal Buildings are its 
magnificent Cathedral, in which is 
placed a master-piece of Rubens, 
" The Descent from the Cross," gen- 
erally veiled from public gaze, but for 
a small fee open at all hours to 
strangers. The Toion Hall, recently 
restored after its destruction by fire, is 
deserving of notice ; and there are 
numerous churches, and collections of 
paintings. A considerable trade is 
carried on to all parts of the world 
from Antwerp, which is daily increas- 
ing, requiring more dock accommoda- 
tion. By the removal of the fortifica- 
tions, the city has obtained a freer and 
more open appearance, and has been 
much improved.

The Hotel de Flandre and the Hotel de 
France, in the upper town, also are . 
very excellent, but of less pretension. 
The Hotel de Snide, in the lower town, 
is very well conducted, clean and mod- 
erate ; its cuisine and cellar are both 
excellent, and the table d'hote is in high 
favor with travellers. 

Amateurs of fine wine will nowhere 
find Burgundy in finer condition than 
at Brussels, the cellars here appearing 
to favor the maturing of this some- 
what capricious wine. 

Objects of Interest are numer- 
ous ; the principal are, the magnificent 
Cathedral of Sainte Gudule, recently 
restored, admirable in point of archi- 
tecture, and containing carved fittings 
of rare workmanship, especially a rich- 
ly sculptured pulpit ; it has also splen- 
did stained-glass windows. The King's 
Palace, a plain, unostentatious build- 
ing ; the Parliament House, the Botan- 
ical Gardens, the Town Hall and Grande 
Place, the Museum, numerous churches 
and private collections. 

On a much smaller scale, Brussels 
may be compared to Paris, which it 
copies in most things. The Park is 
small and pretty, the Boulevards are 
extensive, and the means of locomo- 
tion easy and abundant. Several the- 
atres offer attractive performances, and 
the visitor will find ample employment 
for several days' real enjoyment in 
Brussels and its environs. 

The battle-field of Waterloo is within 
14 miles of Brussels. Stage-coaches 
of English fashion go daily, returning 
in the afternoon in time for dinner.

Prussia. 



The more comfortable and independ- 
ent way for a party is by a private 
carriage. There are houses of enter- 
tainment, of moderate capabilities, at 
Waterloo. 

Rail from Brussels to Paris in 8| 
hours (express) ; fares, 32 fr. 50 c, 
24 /r. 35c. 

To Aix-la-Chapelle, Cologne, &c., see 
routes. 

Aix-la-Chapelle — (Aachen.) — 
Population 70,000, is a charming sit- 
uation — at one time a fashionable 
watering-place, much frequented on 
account of its mineral waters, said to 
be very efficacious for ailments of va- 
rious kinds, but not very pleasant to 
the palate and the nostrils. The town 
still enjoys a certain reputation 
amongst invalids, but to the tourist it 
offers no attraction, except the Cathe- 
dral, with the Tomb of Charlemagne 
(a plain slab let into the pavement). 
A very agreeable promenade to the 
summit of the Louiseberg, will well 
repay the visit. Its rural walks, pic- 
turesque features and fine views are 
well entitled to the praise bestowed on 
them. 

U. S. Consulate. — James Park, 
Consul. Edward Sternberg, Vice- 
Consul, 

Hotels. — The hotels here are ex- 
cellent. The principal are, the Hotel 
da Grand Monarque, with two tables 
d'hote daily ; Hotel Nuellens, and Du- 
brick''s Hotel. 

Cologne. — An important town of 
Prussia and a port on the Rhine — a 
centre of several great lines of rail- 
way connecting North Germany with 
Austria and France. Population, 
about 125,000, but probably in excess 
of that number. 

U. S. Consulate Agency. — G. 
Holscher, Agent. 

Hotels. — None of the hotels ai-e 
first-rate. In the winter they are slug- 
gish and half closed, but in the sum- 
mer the crowds of daily shifting trav- 
ellers — few remaining more than a 
night — create bustle and confusion, to 
the disquiet of steady visitors. The 



principal are, the Hotel Disch, in the 
town, near the cathedral, perhaps the 
best — a large, sombre building, much 
frequented ; Hotel de Hollande, on the 
river, in close proximity to the steam- 
ers, and in that respect convenient. 

The Cathedral has a world-wide re- 
putation, and is the chief object of at- 
traction in Cologne. The double 
bridge over the Rhine, for railroad 
and passenger traffic, is a magnificent 
structure. 

In the Church of St. Peter there is a 
fine Rubens, " The Crucifixion of St. 
Pe-ter." A copy is always on view, 
and the custodian is always on hand 
to show the original. 

But a very few years since, and 
there was one departure of steamers 
up the stream daily, and that of slow 
progress and scant accommodation. 
Now there are numerous departures 
daily, the Express Saloon Steamers 
leaving early (7 A. m.), and making 
the trip between Cologne and Mayence 
in one day. These steamers are gen- 
erally known as " American steam- 
ers ;" they have an excellent restaur- 
ant and table d'hote, a good ladies' 
cabin, a fine promenade deck ; and in 
fine weather it is impossible to imagine 
a more enjoyable and beautiful trip 
between Bonn and Bin gen. The scen- 
ery is one continued beautiful pano- 
rama of absorbing interest, command- 
ing the undivided attention and admi- 
ration of the traveller. 

Where haste is an object, the Rhine 
is thus to be done in a day ; but, if 
time can be spared, it will make the 
trip more interesting by making a stop 
at Coblenz and anothor at St. Goar, 
thus dividing the journey into three 
days. As the river is through a flat 
country as far as 

Bonn, the traveller will do well to 
take a late train from Cologne to Bonn 
— about an hour — and sleep at the 
comfortable hotel of the Gold-en Star 
in this pretty, lively town, taking the 
steamer next morning (the express 
boat), at 9.45, and stopping at 

Coblenz (Hotel du G^ant, excel- 
lent), which will give him ample time 
to visit the charming little watering- 



Berlin. 



37 



place (frequented by high society) of 
Ems, either by rail or private car- 
riage — the latter preferable, as the 
drive is most pleasant. He will also 
have time to visit the Castle of Stolz- 
enfels, on the banks of the Rhine, for- 
merly in ruins, now restored and made 
inhabitable by the present Emperor of 
Germany, who here entertained Queen 
Victoria when she visited Prussia some 
years since. 

St. Goae is a very beautiful spot, 
in the midst of romantic scenery, and 
oifering varied drives, rides and Avalks. 
Several new hotels have lately been 
opened. The traveller will do well to 
inquire as to the best from the land- 
lord at Coblenz. The fine scenery of 
the Rhine ends at Bingen, where the 
traveller can, if he pleases, leave the 
steamer and take the rail direct to 
Frankfort Spa^ as there is nothing of 
interest to see at Mayence. And, as 
the boats from Mayence to Frankfort 
are uncertain in their arrangements, 
it will be well to inquire on board the 
Rhine steamer as to their hours, &c. 

There is a line of railway on each 
hank of the Rhine, so that in case of 
bad v/eather or extraordinary haste, 
the traveller is not bound to any one 
route, but may make his choice to suit 
his convenience. Panoramas and 
guides to the Rhine abound, and af- 
ford much aid in viewing the continu- 
ally varied scenery and localities. 

Hanover, formerly capital of the 
kingdom of Hanover, now reduced to a 
provincial town of Prussia, derives 
its present prosperity from its manu- 
factures and industry, formerly unim- 
portant, but which are now thriving 
and increasing. Pop. nearly 80,000. 

Hotels.— The hotels are good — the 
Victoria, the Union, the Roijal, nearest 
the railv/ay. 

The old toAvn is quaint and charac- 
teristic of the early ages ; some of the 
street architecture is interesting. The 
new part is well laid out, and contains 
aonie elegant buildings. 

Hanover is a great railway junction 
in connection with all parts of Ger- 
many. 



The Principal Buildings are the 

Palace, the Town Hall^ the Schloss 
JCirche. 

There is a small colony of English 
residents here and an English chap- 
lain. 

Berlin, the capital of Prussia, on 
the Spree, a contracted sluggish 
stream here contaminated by the sew- 
erage of the town, and little better 
than a filthy ditch, is distant 700 miles 
from Paris, 150 miles from Hamburgh 
and 100 miles from Dresden. Popu- 
lation over 800,000. 

U. S. Consulate: — H. Kreis- 
man, Consul. 

Hotels. — The hotels are indifferent 
and leave much to desire — among the 
best may be mentioned de Russie, de 
Angleterre, du Nord, de Rome and 
Royal ; they are all situated in the 
centre of the town on or near the 
'"''Unter den Linden.'''' This is the 
finest street of the town, containing 
nearly all the public buildings, palaces 
and best shops, with an avenue of trees 
down the centre which affords a splen- 
did promenade. The other streets of 
the town are wide and straight, but 
badly paved, indifferently lighted and 
with open gutters on each side. 

American visitors will meet with 
every attention and obtain all the 
information they may require of 
Messrs. Thode & Co., the Ameri- 
can Bankers, 171 Friedrich Strasse, 
who have also an establishment at 
Dresden, and who are most oblig- 
ing and attentive to strangers ; their 
" Strangers' Room " is supplied with 
American and English newspapers. 

The Principal Buildings of 
Berlin are the Royal Palace, con- 
taining some splendid Salles and fine 
paintings ; the new Museum, open 
daily ; the University, the Bath House, 
the Opera House, &c., &c. A very 
fine Aquarium on the Unter den Lin- 
den is an object of great attraction. 

The Thiergarten is the Park of 
Berlin ; it is of considerable extent, 
and in summer affords pleasant drives. 
The drive to Charlottenberg through 
the Thiergarten is pleasant ; there is 



38 



Prussia. 



a train from Dorothea Strasse in half 
an hour — fare 2 J gros. 

If time will admit, the stranger 
should visit Potsdam, generally de- 
scribed as the Versailles of Berlin ; 
the Palace and grounds are interest- 
ing, and a day will be well spent in 
the visit. 

Railway in half an hour or less by 
express — fares 21 sgr. and 16 sgr. 

Berlin to Deksden in 4.45 hrs. — 
fares 5 th. 4 sgr. 3 th., 25j sgr. 

Berlin to Vienna via Dresden and 
Prague, 4 departures daily in 27 hours ; 
but the trains have been much accel- 
erated for this season, and the travel- 
ler not hurried for time will proba- 
bly break his journey at Dresden and 
Prague. 

Dresden, capital of Saxony, on 
the Elbe; population 175,000. One 
of the finest and most agreeable cities 
of Germany, offering attractions of 
superior character in every variety to 
satisfy all tastes — picturesque scenery, 
an unsurpassed gallery of paintings 
containing chef d'ceuvres of the finest 
masters, rare collections of art, the 
handsome theatre (recently destroyed 
by fire, but rebuilding with increased 
splendor), charming rides and drives, 
and agreeable society. 

U. S. Consulate. — O. H. Irish, 
Consul. W. Knoop, Vice-Consul. 

Hotels. — The hotels are good ; the 
" Victoria," kept by an obliging land- 
lord, who speaks English, has a choice 
cellar and excellent cuisine. Cleanli- 
ness and comfort are combined with 
moderate charges. Among the others 
are the hotels Goldnen Engel, de Saxe, 
Belle Vue, de France, Royal, &c. 

Messrs. Thode, the American bank- 
ers here, as at Berlin, afford to citizens 
of the United States an agreeable cen- 
tre of information, and provide Amer- 
ican and English newspapers. 

The galleries will fully occupy two 
days, which will be well spent in the 
enjoyment of a rich treat that will 
leave a lasting impression of pleasure 
on the mind. One day at least should 
be given to the picturesque scenery of 
the Saxon Switzerland, a district of 



rare beauty. The trip may be made 
in one day, taking the early train to 
Schandau, and returning in the after- 
noon by steamer ; but the preferable 
way is to make Schandau a resting- 
place — sleeping at one of the somewhat 
primitive but clean and really comfort- 
able inns of the place, and visiting the 
environs at leisure. The trout here 
recommend themselves to the attention 
of the lover of good living ; they are 
kept in tanks, and therefore always 
ready. The writer, although not an 
epicure, would suggest that " «m ftZew," 
that Is plain boiled, with only a squeeze 
of lemon-juice for sauce, they are de- 
licious. 

By the mid-day boat the traveller 
may continue his journey the next day, 
and take the rail to Prague and Vienna 
at Bodenba-ch. 

The scenery of the Elbe is vei-y fine, 
but it is too often passed over without 
the notice it deserves. It affords, be- 
sides, an agreeable relief from the 
monotony of the rail. 

From Dresden to Bodenbach the 
rail is almost continuously along the 
banks of the river. At Bodenbach 
Station there is a well-supplied restau- 
rant with good attendance. 

Rail from Dresden 

to Prague in 5 hours. 
Fares— 6 th. 12 gr., 4 th. 59 gr. 

To Vienna in 14 hours. 

Fares— 24 th. 95 gr., 18 th. 72 gr. 

These trains will probably be accel- 
erated during the coming season. 

Prague, the chief city of Bohe- 
mia (Austrian Empire), on the Mol- 
dau. Population over 155,000. Situ- 
ated, and extending far on both shores 
of the Moldau, and surrounded by 
pleasing heights, it wears, undoubt- 
edly, the most beautiful aspect of all 
the German towns, being adorned 
Avith its 60 peculiar and singularly 
formed spires, with its lordly castle at 
the back of the hill (^Hradschin) , and 
the broad expanse of its streams, 
spanned by two noble bridges. Cir- 
cumference, 1 German mile f ths ; 
divided into Altstadt and Neustadt, on 
one bank of the Moldau, and into 



Mayence — Stuttgardt. 



S9 



Kleinseite and Hradschin on the other ; 
forming four towns. 

A commissionaire is indispensable 
in this place. With his assistance most 
of the sights may be seen in one day. 
Indeed, although historically, Prague 
is one of the most interesting cities of 
Europe, and for the antiquarian and 
archgeologist, full of interest ; the 
ordinary traveller will soon tire of 
repetitions after a ^q-^/^ hours of close 
inspection. 

The Palace op Wallenstein 
will first command attention, not so 
much on account of its architecture or 
size as of its historical associations. 

Prague has the distinction of being 
the oldest University of Germany. 

Hoffmann, near the Hotel de 
I'Etoile Bleu, has a large show of 
Bohemian glass, so well known 
throughout Europe. 

U. S. Consulate. — Charles H. 
Royce, Consul; Nathan Benedickt, 
Vice-Consul. 

Hotels. — None of the hotels are 
first rate ; among the best may be 
classed the Cheval Noir, Hotel de 
V Etoile Bleu and the Hotel d^Angle- 
terre ; the first is the most frequented, 
the fare is good, and in summer din- 
ners are served in the garden ; the 
charges are high ; the Hotel d'An- 
gleterre is more calculated for fami- 
lies, but is rather out of the way. 

Mayence, one of the strong 
places of Germany, near the junction 
of the Maine with the Rhine — popula- 
tion about 45,000. There is nothing 
of much interest in the town, which is 
a place deriving importance only from 
its position and its considerable trade 
in wine, timber and corn. The Ca- 
thedral is an unattractive building of 
red stone. 

US. Consulate. — Aaron Seeley, 
Consul. 

Hotels. — D'' Angleterre, Hollande, 
good but often inconveniently crowded. 
The traveller will do well to push on 
at once for Frankfort. 

Frankfort - on - the - Maine, 

formerly (ine of the free towns, but 



now swallowed up in the German em- 
pire, an important commercial town 
for large financial operations — the 
birth-place of Rothschild, the founder 
of the well-known family of that 
name. The population at one time 
nearly reached 100,000, but it has 
somewhat declined of late years. 

U. S. Consulate.— Wm. P. Web- 
ster, Consul. 

Hotels. — These are excellent — 
first in rank is the Hotel de Russie, 
second to none on the Continent ; the 
Hotel d^ Angleterre, a large and well 
conducted establishment ; the Hotel de 
V Union, comfortable. Frankfort is 
a fine and opulent city, but after visit- 
ing the Cathedral and walking through 
the principal quarters the traveller 
will find but little to detain him ; he 
can, if he pleases, visit 

Hombourg, about an hour dis- 
tant, which was formerly crowded in 
the season by swarms of Russians, 
Americans, English, &c., attracted 
there by the gaming-tables and the 
numerous amusements and attractions 
provided as bait by the farmers of 
these tables. What will be its fate, 
now that gaming is at an end, it is 
not difiicult to foresee ; yet the town is 
handsome, the scenery grand, and 
Hombourg ought to be, in itself, a 
very enjoyable place. The same re- 
marks may apply to its sister sinner 

Wiesbaden, a little more dis- 
tant (about an hour and a half's ride 
from Frankfort), but equally well 
known. Wiesbaden, however, has 
trade and industry, and has become a 
large and prosperous town ; both 
places will repay a visit, and a day 
will be well spent in visiting either. 

Stuttgardt, on the Nechar—iha 
capital of the kingdom of Wurtem- 
BURO — population 80,000; a clean 
and comparatively modern city, in a 
beautiful situation. The Palace and 
Park deserve notice, and the neigh- 
boring town or village of Canstadt, 
where there are good hotels and places 
of entertainment, affbrds an agreeable 
promenade ; but there is little in Stutt- 



40 



Austria. 



gardt itself to detain the traveller. It 
IS about 120 miles distant from Munich 
— several direct trains daily in 6 hours. 

U. S. Consulate. — E. Klauprecht, 
Consul. 

Hotels. — None first-rate. Mar- 
quardfs is the oldest and best ; it is in 
the centre of the town, near the raihvay 
station. 

Munich (Miinchen), the capital 
of Bavaria, on the river Iser, distant 
from Vienna 220 miles ; population 
170,000. 

U. S. Consulate. — G. H. Horst- 
man, Consul. 

Frederick Volk, Vice-CousuL 

Hotels. — The principal are the 
Quatre Saiso7is, the proprietor and at- 
tendants of which speak English. 
English and American newspapers are 
in the reading-room, and the tables 
hliote (two daily) are well served ; 
and the Baierischer Hof, also very 
good. 

No city in the world probably has 
so suddenly expanded from the small 
capital of a petty state into a splendid 
city of palaces and magnificence. 
Early in the present century Munich 
was a small, quaint German town, 
little frequented by travellers. It is 
now one of the gems of the continent 
of Europe, with a population steadily 
increasing. 

The new city has not only the 
claim to architectural taste and dis- 
play, but it is evident to the most 
casual observer that this claim is made 
good. King Louis devoted his life 
and fortune to the embellishment of 
his capital, and right well has he suc- 
ceeded in making it a noble casket to 
contain the various and varied collec- 
tions of art which it possesses. The 
great objects of interest in Munich are 
undoubtedly its galleries of painting 
and sculpture, unsurpassed by any in 
the world. 

The Old Pinacothek contains a 
rare collection of the old masters, and 
is particularly rich in valuable speci- 
mens of Rubens and Murillo. The 
" Last Judgment " by Rubens — the 
canvas measuring 19 ft by 15 ft. — is 



by many connoiseurs considered his 
master-piece and above all price ; but 
it is to be feared that it is caviare to 
the multitude. " The Murillos " are 
charming specimens of truthful nature, 
full of expression. The New Pina- 
cothek is for modern paintings, and is 
well worthy attention. The visitor 
should provide himself with a cata- 
logue at the entrance. 

The Glyptothek, or repository for 
sculptui-e, contains a well-selected and 
carefully arranged collection, more 
select than abundant. 

There are many other private col- 
lections in Munich worthy of notice ; 
but the above three should on no ac- 
count be omitted. 

The other objects of attraction are : 
The Church of St. Michael, the Frau- 
enkirche, the Ludivigskirche, the Max 
Joseph Platz, the Bavarian National 
Museum, &c. The Theatre will contain 
2500 people ; it is one of the largest in 
Germany. The opera is good — care- 
fully attended to in details ; but the 
starring system is not very much in 
vogue in Munich, so that high-class 
excellence in principal parts must not 
be looked for. The performance be- 
gins early, and is generally over by 
ten. 

The internal arrangements of the 
building are good, and will probably 
interest those who have been behind 
the scenes of a theatre. It is freely 
shown on payment of a small fee. 

On arrival in Munich, the traveller 
should ask at the hotel for a list of 
sights and the hours of admission, 
which vary. 

Donauworth, a small town on 
the Danube, of little importance ; po- 
pulation 2500. 

Hotels. — Krebs, on the river near 
the landing-place ; and Post. ', 

Few travellers have occasion to stop 
here, as the steamer starts after arrival 
of first train from Munich and Nurem- 
berg, in about 8 hours. Fares — 4 fi. 
24:'kr., and 2fl. 57 kr. The stations 
are Ingoldstadt, Weltenberg and Kel- 
heim. After Kelheim the scenery is 
less interesting. 



Ratishon. 



41 



Ratisbon (in German .Re^ens- 
burg) , at the confluence of the Danube 
and Regen ; population 28,000. A 
city of Bavaria. 

Ho T E L s. — None spoken of very 
highly — Goldenes Kreuz, WeisserHahn, 
near the landing-place, and Nurnberger 
Hof, nearest the station. 

The Cathedral is one of the finest 
gothic buildings in Germany. The 
Rathhaus is interesting, as containing 
" dungeons and chambers of torture," 
in more perfect preservation than any- 
where else. 

The following description, from 
Murray's excellent Hand-Book of 
Southern Germany, will be read with 
interest : 

" We came to a doorway so low 
that I was obliged to bend nearly 
double to enter it ; then found myself 
with my back still bent in a vaulted 
dungeon 6 ft. or 8 ft. square, lined 
with wood, having a raised step at one 
end to serve as a pillow to the inmate 
of this miserable cell. Daylight was 
entirely denied to him, and the only 
air that could reach it from the dark 
passage without came through a small 
•grating in the door. In the ceiling is 
a sqaure hole lined with lead, communi- 
cating with a pipe which leads to a 
room above. By this means anything 
which the prisoner uttered might be 
overheard. In this dungeon, which is 
numbered 18, Count SchafFgotsch, 
accused of being engaged in Wallen- 
stein's conspiracy, was confined before 
his execution, a. d. 1635. On the 
outside my guide stooped down at a 
trap-door of iron grating, strongly 
fastened with bolts and chains, and, 
lighting a piece of paper, pushed it 
through the bars. As it fell, I per- 
ceived by its light a dungeon more 
horrid than the first — a kind of well 
about 12 feet deep, with no other en- 
trance than this trap-door, so that the 
prisoner must have been let down into 
it as into a living tomb. We passed 
hence through several strong iron doors 
to the Torture Chamber, a lofty apart- 
ment with ample space for the exer- 
cise of the apparatus of cruelty depos- 
ited in it. Just outside the entrance is a 



bench on which the prisoner was allow- 
ed to sit to consider whether he would 
make confession. From this spot he 
could see through a small opening the 
different instruments of torture. To 
these Avere given facetious names. 
First, the horizontal rack, resembling 
a long bedstead or platform of boards, 
upon which the criminal was laid, his 
feet attached to one end and his arms 
fastened to a rope which passed round 
a windlass at the other, so as to stretch 
out his limbs to the utmost extent that 
agony Avould allow, without causing 
death. It exhibits a refinement of 
cruelty, being furnished with a roller 
armed with spikes, rounded off, over 
which the body of the sufferer was 
drawn backwards and forwards. This 
roller was called ' the larded hare.' 
The second species of torture, called 
the 'strappado,' was inflicted verti- 
cally, by raising the victim by a rope 
attached to his arms bound behind his 
back to the roof, and then letting him 
fall to within a few inches of the 
ground ; two stones, the heaviest 
weighing about 125 lbs., being at- 
tached to the feet, so that the jerk in- 
flicted by the sudden fall must have 
strained the joints out of their sock- 
ets." Another mode of applying it 
was by securing the feet of the person 
being examined to the floor, and then 
hoisting him up until the crack was 
heard of the arm-bones being pulled 
out of their sockets. 

The instrument by which this was 
effected consists of an upright frame 
of wood, with a windlass, to which 
the rope is still fastened by one end, 
while the other dangles from a pulley 
in the roof, with a triangle of wood 
attached to it ; it was named " Wicked 
Bess." To this triangle the arms of 
the victims were fastened. The third 
instrument was a very high arm-chair, 
having, instead of a cushion, a seat 
stuck full of small sharp spikes of 
wood, upon which the prisoner was 
made to sit with weights on his lap 
and others hanging from his feet. 
This had two names — " The Confes- 
sional" and "The Maiden's Lap." 
A ladder leaning against the wall has 



42 



Austria, 



some of the rounds replaced by angu- 
lar pieces of wood turning on their 
axis. The prisoner was hauled by a 
rope over a pulley, passing into the 
next room to the top of the ladder, and 
then allowed to descend, the rapid 
friction up and down grazing every 
vertebra in his naked back as he 
passed over them. It was called 
"Slide." There is also a wooden 
horse named " The Spanish Ass," on 
the sharp edge of which the criminal 
was made to ride ; and two or three 
other instruments equally horrible, 
the invention of which is a disgrace 
to human nature. One side of this 
chamber is partioned off by a screen 
of wooden trellis-work ; and behind 
it may still be seen the desk at which 
the judges sat, and, unseen themselves, 
took down the confessions extorted 
from the victims in their agonies. On 
the opposite side are the seats for the 
executioner and surgeon. This ma- 
chinery surpasses in iniquity what sur- 
vives of the far-famed dungeons of 
Venice, and is the only example in 
Europe of such an apparatus perfectly 
preserved, as indeed it deserves to 
be preserved, to illustrate the manner 
in which justice was administered in 
ages which are often held up to our 
admiration by those whose views of 
history are drawn from their imagina- 
tion. 

The torture chamber lies directly 
under the Hall of the Diet ; and had 
not the floor been well lined, the cries 
of the sufferers must have reached the 
ears of the assembly. 

The lining is now removed. A 
work entitled " Institutio Criminalis 
Theresina, "dated 1769, acopy of which 
is shown at the Town House, contains 
not only a description of the tortures 
but representations of the modes of 
inflicting them. 

The steamer does not go beyond 
Ratishon — from here to Passau the 
rail must be taken. Time, 6|- hours.

Passail, a small town at the con- 
fluence of the Danube with the Inn. 
Population 11,500. The situation of 



Passau is charming. It is built on a 
sort of promontory where three rivers 
meet, the Danube, the Inn and the ll.z, 
with bridges over the three. The 
neighborhood is picturesque, and the 
town presents a handsome outside not 
justified by its interior. If time per- 
mits, the traveller will do well to 
ascend to the Castle of Oberhaus or the 
Hill o^ Maria Z??7/opposite,from which 
he will obtain a fine view of the town, 
the three rivers, distinguished by the 
different colors of the waters, and the 
picturesque environs. 

Hotels. — The hotels are somewhat 
primitive but good. The best and most 
convenient for the steamer is the Wil- 
der Mann, one of the old style of 
houses, with vaulted roofs and open 
staircase, but a clean and comfortable 
house. The Griinen Engel is in the 
town, and is also good. 

The steamer leaves Passau for Linz 
at noon, and reaches the latter city 
about 4 or 5 p. m. The boats are 
small and the fares moderate. Tickets 
should be taken at the office on the 
quay, opposite the landing-place. The 
scenery of the Danube from Passau to 
Linz is grand, and the distance being 
short, the traveller has not time to tire 
of the feast his eyes enjoy. 

Fares to Linz 4^,, 2^. 65 kr. 

Liinz, the capital of Upper Austria 
on the Danube, which is here crossed 
by a handsome suspension bridge, 
opened in 1872; population 28,000 — 
strongly garrisoned and fortified. 

Hotels. — Rothen Krebs, on the Da- 
nube ; Kanone, Golden Adler, in the 
town ; Archduke Charles, at the land- 
ing-place of the steamer, very conve- 
niently situated, but in the season 
noisy. There are no tables d^hoie — 
dinners must be ordered at a fixed 
price, or d, la carte, and the bills should 
be looked to, and prices ascertained 
before giving orders. 

Linz is historically and geographi- 
cally interesting ; but it contains no 
objects of sufficient interest to detain 
the traveller. 

The steamer leaves Linz early in 
the morning ; there is a good table 



Ijinz. 



43 



rf'Aofe and restaurant on board. The 
distance by river is about 125 miles ; 
fares to Vienna 6 fl. and 4 fl.^ but it 
is probable that hours and fares will 
both be subject to alterations for the 
season of 1873 — the time-tables of 
the company, to be seen at all the 
hotels, should therefore be consulted. 

The first two hours are passed 
through a dull uninteresting country, 
after which the river flows through 
some fine passes and gorges, and in 
view of ruined castles and monasteries 
that give variety and interest to the 
scene. The principal stations are 
Grein, Yps, Molk and Stein. The 
finest parts of the river are about the 
celebrated Strudel and Wirbel, at 
3folk and at Diirrenstein. 

At present the steamer stops at 
Nussdorf at the mouth of the Danube- 
Canal to Vienna, where passengers 



are transferred with their luggage to 
smaller boats (steamers) which rap- 
idly take them to their destination, 
the landing-place being near the Fer- 
dinand's Bridge in the centre of the 
city. 

The boat once moored, porters come 
on board and take the luggage to the 
carriage, the stand for which is oppo- 
site the landing place, and on arrival 
at the hotel the porter will pay the 
proper charge. 

It is projected to make the Danube 
navigable as far as Vienna itself. 
The work has been for some time in 
progress, and it is probable or possi- 
ble that in 1873 the steamers will 
land their passengers at the new Quay 
now forming near the exhibition 
building, without changing at Nuss- 
dorf.

Vi 



lenna. 



VIENNA. 



Vienna, the metropolis of the 
Austrian Empire, is situated at the 
foot of Mount Kahlenberg, on the 
southern bank of the Danube, at an 
elevation of 522 feet above the level 
of the sea, with a population of nearly 
700,000. The city itself extends along 
an arm of the Danube called the ' ' Vi- 
enna Canal," whilst its suburbs most- 
ly occupy a higher position. The Vi- 
enna Canal, in conjunction with ano- 
ther arm of the Danube called " Kai- 
serwasser" (imperial water), forms an 
islet on which the suburb Leopoldstadt 
is situated. The most beautiful view 
of Vienna is that obtainable from the 
top of St. Stephen's steeple ; although, 
surveyed from the cupola of St. 
Charles, the town presents a greater 
number of picturesque groups of build- 
ings. 

From the summit of the " Wiener- 
berg" a general view of the town may 
likewise be obtained, and, viewed 
from different points of the Kahlenge- 
berg as from the Klause, near Nuss- 
dorf, the " Himmel," the " Krapfen- 
waldchen" and the '' Leopoldsberg," 
three heights in the vicinity of Grinz- 
ing, the whole ensemble of the town 
may be seen to great advantage. 

The circumference of the town, Avith 
its thirty-three suburbs surrounding it, 
amounts to 60,000 Austrian feet. The 
suburbs are enclosed within a wall 12 
feet high and a ditch extending as far 
as the Spittelau and Erdberg, where 
the soil at once declines rapidly to- 
wards the river. Fifteen town-gates 
are established in this wall, called by 
the Viennese ^'die Linie.'^ These gates 
are closed at night, but are readily 
opened to anybody wishing to pass 
either way. The two suburbs on the 
island of the Leopoldstadt, comprising 
the Taborgate, are girt and protected 
by the Danube. 

With its 35 suburbs, Vienna con- 
tains about 12,000 houses, 52 churches, 
15 chapels, 26 monasteries and nun- 
neries, and 2 synagogues, without 
taking into account its numerous ware- 
houses and their dependencies. 



The ancient or internal city occu- 
pies as nearly as possible the centre of 
the town, and covers an area of 20,000 
Austrian ft. It was formerly separated 
from the suburbs by ramparts 50 feet 
high, furnished with 1 1 bastions and a 
deep ditch surrounding them. Be- 
tween the latter and the suburbs lay 
the Glacis, a vast space of open ground 
overgrown with grass and planted 
with trees, which was in summer a 
very pleasant place of resort for walk- 
ers, nurses and frolicking children. 
These fortifications have been done 
away with since 1857, when a decree 
from Francis Joseph was issued, or- 
dering that the wall should be demol- 
ished, the ditch filled up and levelled, 
and the glacis built upon. It is owing 
to this change that Vienna has so sud- 
denly been embellished and now pos- 
sesses a street, the Ringstrasse, which 
in regularity and magnificence is cer- 
tainly surpassed by no other in Eu- 
rope. 

An hour's walk will easily take the 
stranger through the entire "Ring- 
strasse," for the old city contains 
only 1300 buildings, 140 streets, and 
20 squares, one of which, " the Hof," 
is the largest, and measures 426 feet 
in length by 231 feet in breadth. The 
most remarkable squares, besides this, 
are, the " Hoher Markt" (High Mar- 
ket), the " Josephsplatz" (Joseph's 
Square), the " Burgplatz" (Palace 
Square), " Neuer Markt" (New Mar- 
ket), "Graben" (Ditch), " Stephans- 
platz (Stephen's Square), " St. Mi- 
chael's Square," the " Jews' Square," 
the " Freiung." 

Of the 12 old gates belonging to the 
city, two only remain — the Burgthor 
(Palace Gate), and theFranz-Josephs- 
thor (Francis Joseph's Gate), be- 
tween the Post Office and the Custom- 
House. 

Characteristic of the town are the 
many court passages which establish 
communication between the difterent 
streets, so that he who is acquainted 
with them can greatly abridge his per^ 
ambulations.

HOTELS. 

All the best hotels in Vienna are 
in the old city and nearly together ; 
and, except at the Grand Hotel on 
the Ringstrasse, where there is, be- 
sides the restaurant, a good table 
d'hote, there are no tables d'hote at any. 
Each hotel, however, has a restaurant 
attached to it, open to the inmates and 
to the public, Avhere the bill of fare is 
varied and the cuisine excellent — the 
fish, game and puddings being espe- 
cially good. It is usual to pay for 
each meal at the time, as it avoids the 
overcharge and confusion which may 
occur if left to be paid with the bill. 
Breakfasts are served in the apart- 
ments, but most travellers avail them- 
selves of the freedom and ease afforded 
by the numerous excellent cafes of 
the city for that early meal. The 
bed-rooms are generally fitted up so 
as to serve for sitting-rooms as well, 
and are furnished with every conveni- 
ence for the double purpose. It is 
impossible to give a scale of charges 
for this year especially, but it may 
fairly be calculated that hotel expenses 
at Vienna during the Exhibition will 
be at the rate of about double the cost 
in London or Paris, and probably 50 
per cent, more than at New York. It 
will be prudent to ascertain the price 
of rooms beforehand ; but very little 
difference Avill be found between the 
tariffs of the different first-class hotels. 
Those of the second-class are not re- 
commended. 

The hall-porter at these hotels is ge- 
nerally a well-informed and intelligent 
man, speaking several languages, and 
a reliable authority on most matters 
of local interest. He takes charge of 
letters and parcels, keeps a stock of 
postage stamps, the Directoiy of Vi- 
enna, time-tables of railways and 
steamers, and is well up in hours of 
admission to the different Palaces, 
Museums and Galleries. He expects a 
fee from each traveller proportionate 
to the number in the party and the 
trouble giA^en. For a single ti'aveller 
probably a florin a week, or at most a 
florin and a half, will be sufficient. 

The principal hotels in Vienna are : 



The Grand. — Ringstrasse ; a large 
new building, on the American plan, 
table d'hote, reading-room, &c., and 
has a covered courtyard. 

Munich. — Karntnerstrasse, 28; of 
high reputation, and charges accord- 
ingly. 

Ekzherzog Kar l. — Karntner- 
strasse, 31. 

Stadt Frankfurt. — Seilergasse, 
14; a small hotel, well conducted, 
with excellent cuisine, and an atten- 
tive landlord. 

Meissl's. — Kai'ntnerstrasse, 24; 
quiet and good. 

Oesterreichischer Hof. — • 
Fleischmarkt, 9. 

Matchakerhof. — Seilergasse, 6 ; 
of the same description as the Stadt 
Frankfurt. 

KaiserinElizabeth. — Weihburg- 
gasse, 3 ; very respectable and well 
conducted. 

Wii/DER Mann. — Karntnerstrasse, 
17 ; well spoken of. 

Stadt London. — Fleischmarkt, 22; 
close to the Post Office, very good. 

GoLDENES Lamm. — Leopoldstadt 
Praterstrasse, 7 ; the nearest to the 
Exhibition Building ; convenient for 
steamers. 

AVandl. — Petersplatz, 12 ; in the 
centre of the city. 

Hotel National. — Leopoldstadt 
Taberstrasse, 8 ; a large suburban ho- 
tel, well spoken of, but distant from 
the chief places of resort and attrac- 
tion. 

It is said that, during the present 
year, no less than 16 large new hotels 
are to be opened ; probably not more, 
however, than will be wanted, for 
otherwise the hotel accommodation at 
Vienna is but scanty — not by any 
means more than sufficient for its or- 
dinary requirements, and therefore 
totally inadequate to meet the wants 
of the enormous influx of strangers 
who will this year be attracted by its 
Exhibition. Families will do well to 
write beforehand to secure apartments. 

LODGI]SrGS. 

The Exhibition Commission has 
given notice that a Central Bureau 



46 



Vienna. 



has been established at Vienna, Liech- 
TENSTE1NSTRAS8E 9, where visitors to 
the exhibition will always find apart- 
ments at from 2, 4, 6, to \Q florins per 
diem. 

Rents are high in Vienna ; the 
rapid increase of the city had some- 
what reduced the rate, but again there 
has been a rise, and it is impossible to 
give any rule or guide. The most 
expensive lodgings are those on and 
immediately adjoining the Ringstrasse. 
A single room, of fair size, furnished 
to serve as bed-room and sitting-room, 
may, perhaps, be had at from 75 to 
IbO fl, per month, and a family apart- 
ment of moderate size at from 200 to 
400 yZ. per month. The stranger on 
arriving, if he has not already secured 
his apartments, had better first call at 
the " Official Central Bureau" above 
mentioned, and also make inquiry of 
the proprietor of his hotel. 

There are several Hotels Garnis 
affording comfortable accomodation, 
and more are being prepared. No 
city in the world is better calculated 
for life in lodgings than Vienna, as 
all necessary supplies are abundantly 
provided out of doors. 

RESTAURANTS. 

These are very numerous in Vienna, 
and of various degrees of excellence ; 
the prices vary greatly, but they are 
generally high. A good average din- 
ner in a first class restaurant cannot 
be had for less than 4 or 5 florins, ex- 
clusive of wine, which is not, how- 
ever, taken as a matter of course — 
6eer, light, cool and spai'kling, being 
the general beverage. The Hunga- 
rian and Austrian wines are good and 
moderate ; French wines are expen- 
sive. 

The epicure will approve of the 
fish, the delicate sturgeon of the 
Danube, cooked in a variety of ways — 
the schill and the fogasch, all excel- 
lent ; the game, which abounds, and 
the great variety of puddings and 
sweet dishes, in which the Viennese 
excel. 

As before stated, each hotel has a 
restaurant attached to it, and these 



are among the best in Vienna ; be- 
sides these the following take first 
rank ; 

The French Restaurant — Herrn- 
gasse 8, in the Lichtenstein Palace ; 
B RE TING and Mebus, 13 Graben, 
Streitberger, Obere, Bachergassct 
with a table d^hote and frequented by 
ladies. 

DoMATERS, at Hitzing, ^ an hour 
by train ; large dining hall, and gar- 
den where music plays ; good cuisine. 
(See the article Hitzing.) 

Numerous other restaurants are be- 
ing established in view of the expected 
influx of strangers for the great 
exhibition ; and, like the hotels, they 
will undergo great increase of number 
and alterations of price and character 
this year. The visitor will not have 
any difficulty, except embarras du 
choix, in the article of food. 

CAFES. 

In nothing does Vienna show its 
rapid increase and improvement more 
than in its numerous and handsome 
cafes. Half a century back, except 
" Daum's," Avhich then was promi- 
nent, Vienna scarcely possessed half a 
dozen cafes that would satisfy the 
most moderate requirements of travel- 
lers, the generality of such establish- 
ments being then mere estaminets, or 
of very inferior description. Now the 
Vienna cafes may vie with any in Pa- 
ris. They do not in any case combine, 
as in Paris, a restaurant with a cafe ; 
but they are used for their legitimate 
purposes only, coff"ee, tea, ices and re- 
freshing drinks. Even the " petics 
verves,'''' which form so. considerable 
an item of consumption in Paris, here 
are ignored or are but little known. 
Except at mid-day, from 12 to 2 — the 
dinner hour — they are crowded from 
early morn. Smoking is universal in 
them, one or two cafes alone having a 
room for ladies, where smoking is not • 
allowed. A few of the principal cafes 
are : 

Daum's, the oldest, on the Kohl- 
markt, No. 8. 

Cafe de l'Europe, Stephans- 
platz, facing the cathedral, a room up 



Beer-halls — Wines — Conveyances. 



47 



stairs for ladies. Czech, Graben, for 
first-class commercial men ; excellent 
attendance, abundant supply of news- 
papers, English, American, French 
and German. 

Corte's, Volksgarten. — An excel- 
lent band plays here regularly in the 
afternoon, when it is much crowded. 

The Cafes of the Leopoldstadt 
are usually crowded with merchants 
and visitors of all nationalities. 

The Cafe in the Stadt Park, 
on the Park Ring, is the most fre- 
quented of all the Vienna establish- 
ments. It is known as the Kursaal, 
and is a fine building, with a concert- 
hall, dancing-saloon, &c. Numerous 
tables ai*e placed in the walks, and in 
the afternoon it presents a gay and 
bustling scene. It is a fashionable 
promenade as well as a cafe. The 
ices are good ; but fair ladies may 
often be seen indulging in the more 
plebeian but equally grateful refresh- 
ment of beer. Except the delicate 
little rolls, for which Vienna is famous, 
no food is supplied. 

BEER-HALLS. 

These are numerous in Vienna — 
some of them of very great size. Dre- 
her's, near the Opera, is said to ac- 
commodate more than 1000 guests. 
They are a combination of the French 
estaminet, the marchand de inn and 
the cheap restaurant. The company 
is not select, the attendance indiffer- 
ent, and the fare moderate as to 
charge, but dear at the price. They 
are, however, much frequented by the 
Viennese ; the beer that they supply 
is always excellent — the Viennese 
beer having quite taken the palm from 
that of Bavaria, which formerly stood 
first in universal estimation. Being 
always fresh, light and pleasant, the 
quality often betrays the traveller into 
forgetfulness of quantity, and glass 
follows glass in too rapid succession. 

Dreher is the great brewer of Vien- 
na ; his beer enjoys the highest repu- 
tation. He is said to produce nearly 
1300 barrels per day during the sea"son. 
His brewery is at Kleine Schwechat, 
and is readily shown to visitors. Om- 
4 



nibus in 40 minutes from the Johannes 
Gasse. Dreher has several establish- 
ments in Vienna, also in Paris, to 
which latter city the beer is conveyed 
by special trains and with the greatest 
care, so as to present it to the Parisian 
amateur in all its excellence. 

WINES. 

The wines of Austria are good, of 
full flavor and body. 

Those of Hungary also, although 
but little known out of the country, 
are of excellent character and quality, 
with a wide latitude of price. Little 
wine, however, is drank by the na- 
tives. 

Rome?', in the Lingerstrauss, has a 
varied and good selection. 

The Esterhazy Keller (Haar Hof), 
open from 11 to 1 and 5 to 7, should 
be visited ; it is in the Kagler Gasse, 
and belongs to the Esterhazy family. 
It is literally a cellar, and one of 
small dimensions, without the slight- 
est attempt at embellishment or even 
accommodation. Here the best wines 
of Hungary can be tasted in all their 
purity. 

For a fee of 10 or 15 kr. the visitor 
can have a tumbler of any wine or 
vintage he may ask for. There are 
no waiters. 

It is a simple, ordinary cellar vault, 
dimly lighted, and a few wooden 
benches and deal tables. 

An old Avoman retails bread and 
sausage ; and an attendant, seated at 
a table, receives money, while the cel- 
lar men fill the glasses. 

As an institution of Vienna it should 
be seen ; it is generally crowded. La- 
dies may visit the cellar without chal- 
lenging observation. 

PUBLIC CONVEYANCES. 

Tramways. — These are a great 
convenience, the carriages are easy, 
the fares moderate ; but as there does 
not appear to be any police regula- 
tion as to numbers, they are often 
most uncomfortably crowded even to 
the outer platforms, passengers sitting 
or standing wherever they can obtain 
a footing. The carriages are dirty ; 



48 



Vien7ia. 



but great promise is made of better 
things for 1873. 

Tramway (Pferde Bahn) from the 
Praterstrasse by the Ringstrasse, round 
the town ; fare 10 It. 

To Dornhach Heriials, by Avay of 
Franz-Joseph Quay or the Kingstrasse, 
fare 20 Jcr. 

To Schd'nhrunn and Hitzing, by the 
Maria Hilf line, fare 20 kr. 

The departures are frequent — the 
point of departure being from the Pra- 
ter Strasse in the Leopoldstadt, near 
the entrance to the Prater. 

Omnibuses of an inferior description 
(stellwagen), are very numerous to 
all the environs of Vienna. There 
are, it is said, upwards of 1500 in Vi- 
enna, at very moderate fares, from tire 
undermentioned places. They are not 
allowed to loiter in the streets, are 
not clean, and are not to be recom- 
mended. The fare within the lines is 
10 kr. : 

For Dobling, at the Ilof, Fisch- 
markt. 
Dornhach, at the Hof, Juden- 

platz. 
Gersthof and Potzleinsdorf, at 

the Freiung. 
Grinzing, at the Hof. 
Haimbach, at the Neumarkt. 
Hetzendorf, at the Lobkowitz- 

platz. 
Hitzing, at the Neumarkt, Ste- 

phansplatz, Peter. 
Hiitteldorf, at the Nof or Neu- 
markt. 
Kalksburg, at the Neumarkt. 
Kierling, at the Freiung. 
Klosterneuburg^ at the Minorit- 

enplatz. 
Lainz, at the Stephansplatz. 
Mauer, at the Lobkowitzplatz. 
Neustift, at the Freiung. 
Neuwaldegg, at the Hof. 
Nussdo7-f, at the Hof. 
Penzing, at the Neumarkt and 

Peter. 
Rodaiin, at the Neumarkt. 
Schwechat, in the Johannes- 

gasse. 
Sievering, at the Hof. 
Simmering, at the Stephans- 
platz and Wollzeile. 



For St. VeAt, at the Neumarkt. 
'' Weidling, at the Scliulhof. 

A better class of omnibus has been 
started from the Stephansplatz to the 
Siid-bahn and Nord-bahn terminus and 
to the Exhibition Builbing. They 
have better horses and are faster than 
the ordinary stellwagen ; fare 15 kr. 

Fiacres (two horses), with a regu- 
lar tariff, a card of which should be 
displayed in each carriage, specifying 
the fares from the different stations of 
steamers and railways, theatres, &c. 
This ought strictly to be adhered to ; 
but the conscience of the driver is 
sometimes very elastic, and it is well, 
where it can be done, to let the porter 
settle with him ; and in all cases where 
he is taken for a drive to the Prater, 
or out of the lines, to make a bargain 
beforehand. The fare within the lines 
is 1 Ji. the first hour, and 50 kr. every 
succeeding Aa/fAowr. 

Fiacres with one horse ai'e called 
" Einspanner,''^ 40 kr. the first 15 min- 
utes, 20 kr. every succeeding 15 min- 
utes. 

Stadtwagen, a very superior class 
of carriage, like the " Eemise" of Pa- 
ris, or "Brougham" of London. 
These are neat and often very elegant 
turnouts, difiicult to distinguish from 
a private carriage. They are admitted 
into court-yards of private houses, 
whereas fiacres are not, and are freely 
used by ladies and the nobility. The 
usual hire by the day is from 8 to 10^., 
but they can be engaged for shorter 
periods. 

Vienna is thus abundantly supplied 
with means of locomotion to suit all 
tastes and all pockets. 

COMMISSIOTTAIIIES AND 
POUTERS. 

These are stationed all over the 
town ; they are under police regu- 
lation, and are trustworthy. They 
are numbered, and each commission- 
aire, on being engaged, gives a ticket 
with a number corresponding with the 
one on his badge. Wages, 1 Jl. 50 kr. 
per day, 1 Jl. for half a day. A com- 
mission in the tOAvn 20 kr., in the 
suburbs 30 kr. Some of these men 



Police — Shops — Theatres. 



49 



are above the ordinary class in intelli- 
gence. 

On arriving at Vienna, the stran- 
ger, should he want to walk to his 
hotel, may give his luggage to the 
charge of one of these commission- 
aires, and it will safely follow him. 
They are also useful as guides. 

Any inquiry or complaint respect- 
ing these men should be addressed to 
the Direction, 14 Singerstrasse. There 
are also commissionaires at the various 
hotels always in attendance, who make 
a somewhat higher charge ; but being 
always on the spot are found very con- 
venient. 

POLICE. 

The Police wear a semi-military 
uniform, with swords ; a sort of com- 
promise between the brisk sergeants de 
ville of Paris and the stolid policemen 
of London. 

SHOPS. 

The shops in Vienna may vie in 
richness and elegance \vith those of 
Paris or London. The best are to 
some extent restricted to the old city, 
the Karntnerstrasse, the Graben, Ste- 
phansplatz ; but good shops are also 
to be found in other quarters. 

The Article de Vienne, leather arti- 
cles, table bijouterie, art productions, 
&c., will be seen in every variety and 
in great perfection in the splendid 
shops of Klein, Graben 20, whose 
wares are universally known ; and it 
is said that when he opened a branch 
establishment at Paris, the late Em- 
peror Napoleon personally visited it, 
and thanked Mr. Klein for the favor 
he had conferred on the Parisians. 

Meerschaum pipes and amber are 
specialties of Vienna. Keiss, Graben 
16, is one of the most prominent 
dealers. Some of the carvings are 
beautiful ; the quality of the material 
itself is, however, the all-important 
consideration, as the prices of to all 
appearances the same bowls may vary 
from Ijl. to 20 Jl. Amateurs may 
safely trust to the judgment of Mr. 
Keiss in such matters. 

Bohemian glass is another article of 
trade in Vienna. A very beautiful 



selection can be seen at Lobmetr's 
store. 

Gloves, silks and shawls are good. 
The glove trade especially is brisk ; 
they are not cheap, but they are good. 

Carriages are cheap ; but since the 
introduction of railways they do not 
so much interest travellers. 

In all dealings at Vienna it is better 
to ask prices before deciding ; and, 
Avhere the transactions are consider- 
able, to have a written contract. It 
saves much trouble and many misun- 
derstandings. 

I 

THEATRES. 

The theatres are not so numerous 
relatively to population as those of 
London or Paris. First in rank, situ- 
ation and splendor, must be noticed 

"The New Opera House," in 
the Opera Ring, within a few hundred 
yards of the Grand Hotel, completed 
in 1869, a magnificent building, and 
one of the largest theatres in the 
world, containing seats for 3000 per- 
sons, perfect in. all respects as to 
acoustics, ventilation and all internal 
arrangements for the comfort of the 
audience, excepting always the upper 
boxes, which are inconveniently low 
and crowded. The pit-stalls are lux- 
uriously comfortable ; the lobby and 
staircases are particularly admired, 
and are palatial in proportions and 
decorations. Between the acts ser- 
vants in the imperial livery hand ices 
and refreshments to the spectators. 

The HoFBURG — immediately ad- 
joining the imperial palace, of which 
it forms a part — is devoted to legiti- 
mate drama, tragedy and comedy ; it 
is closed during a part of the season, 
July and August. 

Der Wi^n. — A large and popular 
national theatre in the suburb Wieden, 
not restricted to any class of perform- 
ance, but giving indiscriminately, 
opera, comedy, melodrama or farce. 

Karl Theatre, Leopoldstadt — the 
theatre of the Viennese population — a 
large building commanding always 
crowded audiences ; the performances 
comprise vaudeville, burlesque, farce, 
&c. 



50 



Vienna, 



Thalia. — A summer theatre. 

Furst's — Eor the lower class — the 
performances are entirely Viennese as 
to dialect allusions. 

The performances commence usually 
at 7, to terminate about IT; seldom 
later, often earlier, to enable the 
spectators to adjourn to supper. The 
prices of admission are various, much 
after the Parisian style, so that the 
traveller will do well to consult one 
of the numerous daily papers, which 
furnish all necessary information on 
the subject. 

DA]SrCIITG-HALLS 

(Tanzsalle). 

These in Vienna replace the cafe 
chantants of Paris and the music halls 
of London, and are peculiar to the 
city — indeed one of its features ; some 
of them are large, elegant and well 
conducted ; always with excellent mu- 
sic, and generally with a restaurant 
attached. They are with few excep- 
tions frequented by the middle class 
families, and good humor and good 
order are the characteristics of the 
frequenters. 

Schwenders Coloseum — in Rudolfs- 
heim (there is a special line of omni- 
buses attached to the establishment 
which start from Stephansplatz) — 
is perhaps the most elaborate and the 
best specimen of this class of enter- 
tainment. 

Sperl — in the Leopoldstadt — is a 
much frequented establishment, and 

The Sophirnbad Hall (Landstrasse), 
the Elyseum (Johannesgasse), are also 
in great repute ; but during the sum- 
mer months they offer no attractions 
to the stranger. 

PUBLIC GARDENS AND 
PHOMENADES. 

The Prater is the park of Vienna, 
at the extremity of the Leopold- 
stadt, with numerous avenues that 
intersect it in every direction. It is 
the resort of all classes, from the im- 
perial monarch and proud noble to 
the lowest inhabitant ; the one resorts 
to it to display his splendid equipage. 



to see his fellows and to be seen by 
them ; the other to enjoy fresh air 
and freedom from restraint. There 
are elegant cafes for the former, and 
beer-houses and sausage-stalls for the 
latter ; lower theatres and amuse- 
ments of every kind for the people. 

On Sundays and fete days it is a 
sight to be seen. 

The Park is well kept, and this 
year it will be the centre of all attrac- 
tion, as the Exhibition Building is 
within its limits. 

The Imperial Garden (Burggar- 
ten), east of the Imperial Palace, pos- 
sesses two large hot-houses, 406 feet 
in length by 46 in height, and a winter 
garden, the roof of Avhich rests on 
Corinthian columns. Here is to be 
seen the equestrian statue of Francis 
I. This garden, which abounds in a 
great variety of camellias, roses, and 
other beautiful and rare flowers, is not 
open to the public ; strangers obtain 
admission in the morning. 

The Town Park (Stadtpark), is the 
most recent and most fashionable walk 
in Vienna. It is situated on the banks 
of the "Wien," between the Kolo- 
watring and the Stubenring, and 
occupies an area of 40,000 square 
fathoms. At the time of the demolition 
of the ramparts (1857), it was or- 
dered by express command of the 
Emperor that a part of the adjacent 
glacis should be transformed into a 
park. Agreeably to the imperial order, 
the new park was laid out in 1862. 
That portion of the park situated on 
the right bank of the " Wien," is a 
place of resort for children ; hence its 
name Kinderpark. On the left bank 
of the Wien is a pavilion made of east 
iron exhibited at the London Inter- 
national Exhibition. The corporation 
bought it for 3000 florins, and adorned 
the park with it. Another ornament 
worth seeing is a statue representing 
the Danublan Maid, by Gasser. 
When in winter the pond is frozen 
over, it becomes the place of resort of 
fashionable skaters. 

The Kursaal in the park is a hand- 
some building, and is much frequented 
as a caf^ morning and evening} in 



Public Gf-ardens — Ohurches.

summer the tables are placed in the 
garden. 

The Augarten, to the north of the 
town, was opened by Joseph II., in 
1757. On the gate the following in- 
scription is read : " Alle.n Menschen 
gewidmeter Belustigungsort von ihrem 
Schatzer" (Place of recreation dedi- 
cated to all men by their friend). This 
garden, though little resorted to, com- 
mands a nice view and has beautiful 
shady walks. In one part of it are 
stored up the collections brought over 
by the frigate " Novara" on her re- 
turn from her long voyage round the 
woiid. (1857-1859.)' 

The Garden of the People (Volks- 
garten), facing the Imperial Garden, 
dates from 1824. In the centre of the 
garden is a temple, called the Temple 
of Theseus, an imitation of that at 
Athens, which contains a beautiful 
group in white marble," representing 
Theseus snbduing the Minotaur, by 
Can ova. 

The Cafe here is also most popular ; 
excellent music being given twice a 
w^eek or oftener, by Strauss or other 
eminent masters. 

CHUBCHES. 

St. Stephen' s. — Distinguished 
from afar by its lofty and elegant 
spire, the Cathedral Church of St. 
Stephen's is the most conspicuous and 
interesting building in the Austrian 
capital. As nothing new can be said 
in describing it, the following particu- 
lars are borrowed from Murray's 
excellent Hand-Book of Southern Ger- 
many. 

"AH that is lofty, imposing, and 
sublime in the Gothic style of archi- 
tecture is united in this Cathedral. 
Its length is 345 English feet, its 
greatest breadth 230 feet. The build- 
ing was begun 1359, and completed 
1480 ; but the two small towers flank- 
ing the west doorway and the part of 
the edifice contiguous to them, are the 
remains of a previous church built 
1147. They exhibit the character of 
the Byzantine style of arcliitecture. 
Tlie roof is covered with colored tiles, 
forming a colossal mosaic of the Aus- 



trian eagle. On the outside of the 
building there is much rich tracery, 
and some curious carvings and monu- 
ments. Many restorations and repairs 
of the exterior have been made. The 
doorways, especially the giant portal, 
are beautiful specimens of Gothic or- 
nament. From the pulpit of stone, on 
the outside of the church erected against 
a buttress on the north-east angle of 
the north chancel aisle, St. John 
Capistran preached a crusade against 
the Turks in 1451. The general char- 
acter of the interior is gloomy ; but 
the height of the nave, the size of the 
pillars, the abundance of rich sculp- 
ture, the glowing tints and ancient 
painted glass, the beautiful forms of 
the two rose or Avheel windows, all 
contribute to the imposing effect of 
this splendid Cathedral. 

"The pulpit is deserving of minute 
observation, on account of its elegant 
and elaborate carved work in stone, 
as are also the stalls of the choir. At 
the east extremity of the south aisle 
is the marble monument of the Empe- 
ror Frederick III., ornamented with 
240 figures and 4 coats of arms 
(1467," 151 3). On a scroll twisted 
around the sceptre in the hand of the 
effigy are the initials of Frederick's 
device or motto, A E. I. 0. U., 
^Ues £'rdreich /st Oesterreich Un- 
terthan ; or, in Latin, Jlustria £st 
/m per are Orbi ?7ni verso. The figures 
in relief around the sarcophagus re- 
presented the eight religious establish- 
ments which he founded. Near the 
west end, on the right of the grand 
doorway, is a side chapel called Kreuz 
Kapelle, in which Prince Eugene of 
Savoy is buried. The south tower, 
begun and carried to two-thirds of its 
present height in 1359, was completed 
in 1423 by Anton Pilgram. It is a 
master-piece of gothic architecture, 
diminishing gradually from its base to 
its summit in regularly retreating 
arches and buttresses ; it is 444 Eng- 
lish feet high. It is well worth while 
to ascend it on account of the view. 
It is entered from a small house, No, 
873 Stephansplatz, built against the 
south wall of the church, on the out- 



52 



Vienna. 



side, where tickets are given out. 
High up in the north-west angle is 
shown the stone bench from which 
the Count Stahreinberg, the brave 
Governor of Vienna, during the last 
siege by the Turks, used to reconnoi- 
tre their camp, as an inscription 
placed over the spot bears witness. 
The largest bell is made of the 180 
pieces of cannon taken from the Turks 
after their repulse fi'om the walls ; it 
weighs 380 cwt. The view extends 
not only over the city and suburbs, 
but across the Danube to the March- 
feld, and over Napoleon's famous 
battle-fields of Lobau, Wagram, As- 
pern and Essling. Half way up the 
tower is the station of the Fire-watch 
for the city, a Avell-regulated establish- 
ment. A moderate-sized apartment, 
which also includes the works of the 
clock, is formed within the tower, 
and furnished with windows over- 
looking the city. Each window-sill 
has a provision for fastening a tele- 
scope, whose movements are marked 
by the stand on which it is placed, 
upon graduated circles placed hori- 
zontally and vertically. Registers 
have been constructed for each win- 
dow, so that the telescope having been 
pointed to any object and the corre- 
sponding horizontal and vertical num- 
bers upon the graduated scale read 
off, the name of the object, whether 
building or street, is ascertained by 
reference to them. Thus a spot where 
a fire may break out is ascertained ; 
by the aid of the electric telegraph 
intelligence is at once conveyed direct 
to the fire officers ; and in a very 
short time assistance is on its way to 
the site of the conflagration. 

"The clock in this tower strikes the 
hour only ; the quarters are struck 
by the watchmen who are posted, day 
and night, aloft to give warning of 
fires l>y ringing a bell and display- 
ing a flag, and at night by holding 
out a light in the direction where the 
fire has broken out. The magnificent 
spire was in great measure rebuilt 
after the earthquake of 1519, which 
much injured Vienna. An iron bar 
was then run up the centre as an axis 



for the support of the spire ; but this, 
having a tendency to vibrate, instead 
of preserving the tower, reduced the 
wall nearly to a state of ruin. About 
182 feet from the top were taken out 
and removed in 1839, and rebuilt in 
1842 at a cost of 130,000 gulden. 

" The upper part consists entirely of 
new work. It is remarkable, as 
showing • the calculation and fore- 
thought of the original architect, that 
the buttress opposite to the side from 
which the prevailing wind blows is 
thicker than any of the others, to 
resist its effects. The north tower, 
begun in 1450, was to have been the 
same height as the south tower, but 
was left unfinished at its present 
height, 212 feet. 

"There Avas formerly a narrow 
church-yard round St. Stephen's, 
which will account for the numerous 
monuments ; some of them possessing 
considerable interest, that are outside 
of the edifice, to the height of several 
yards. This church-yard was paved 
by order of Joseph II. ; the crypt 
served as a burial-place of the impe- 
rial family from the 14th to the 17th 
century ; and even now the curious 
practice prevails of interring their 
bowels at St. Stephen's, and their 
hearts in the Church of the Augus- 
tines, although their bodies are de- 
posited in the vault of the Church of 
the Capuchins." 

The Capuchins Church, in the 
Neumarkt, is a very plain building, 
only to be noticed as containing the 
Imperial Vault. It contains amongst 
upwards of seventy others, the sarcopha- 
gi in bronze of Maria Theresa and her 
consort, and of the Duke of Reich- 
stadt, the only son of the first Napo- 
leon, Avho died at the neighboring pa- 
lace of Schonbrunn, at the early age 
of eighteen ; as also that of the unfortu- 
nate Emperor Maximilian of Mexico. 

The Court Chapel is chiefly to be 
noticed on account of its church mu- 
sic, said to be the finest in Vienna ; 
and in the winter the forenoon service 
is attended by the imperial family. 

St. Augustin's, Augustiner-Str., 
built by Frederick the Handsome in 



C]iu7'ches — The Burg Group. 



53 



1330, pursuant to a voav made during 
his captivity. It is chiefl^y remarkable 
as containing a master-piece of sculp- 
ture by Sconaver. one of his most ce- 
lebrated works being the tomb of the 
Ai'chduchess Christine, of exquisite 
design and n^asterly execution. It 
consists of a pyramidical surface of 
gray marble, nearly 30 feet high, 
against the wall facing the -entrance. 
Two groups in white marble are ap- 
proaching the entrance of an open 
tomb : Virtue bearing an urn, escorted 
by two children with torches ; Charity 
follows, assisting an old man up the 
steps. The execution of the aged man 
is beautiful but true to nature. On 
the opposite side is a couchant lion, 
with a melancholy genius reclining by 
his side. The whole work is most 
impressive, and will bear close atten- 
tion and frequent visits. The sacred 
music at this church on Sundays and 
f&te days is very fine. 

The Chukch of St. Charles 
BoRROMEO (Carl's Kirche), at the 
Wieden, founded by the Emperor 
Charles VI. in 1716, completed in 
1737. Its front, surmounted with an 
imposing cupola, has at each side a 
tower 141 feet high. These towers 
contain the bells, and the Avinding 
bas-reliefs on them represent different 
episodes out of the life of the saint. 

St. Salvator's (Votive Church), 
situated between the New-Wien and 
the Alservorstadt. This church was 
founded in commemoration of the 
narrow escape of the Emperor Francis 
Joseph, who, while walking one day 
on the ramparts adjoining his palace, 
was rescued from the hands of a would- 
be assassin. The sum necessary for 
its construction Avas raised by sub- 
scription, and realized 1,300,000 fl. 
The construction Avas begun in 18.5 6, 
and Avell deserves attention. Its tAvo 
beautiful and elegant spires have just 
been finished. 

Maria Steigen, Passau street, a 
Gothic edifice of the fourteenth cen- 
tury, restored 1820, is considered, after 
St. Stephen's, the finest Gothic church 
in Vienna. 

The new Synagogue is in the Leo- 



poldstadt ; it is rich in internal decora- 
tion, and should be visited. 

The Minorite Church for Ital- 
ian Service contains a good mosaic 
copy of the ' ' Last Supper' ' of Leon- 
ardo da Vinci, Avhich Avill have inter- 
est for those Avho have not seen the 
original and Avho do not purpose to 
visit Milan. 

There are numerous other churches 
in Vienna, but none deserving par- 
ticular attention. 

THE BURG GROUP. 

The Burg, Imperial Hofburg, 
or Palace and residence of the Em- 
peror, is a considerable pile of build- 
ings neither imposing in elevation nor 
distinguished in architecture ; it dates 
from various periods and helong to all 
ages and to all styles. Externally, it 
offers nothing to arrest the eye or de- 
mand the attention of the visitor. It 
contains three courts or quadrangles, 
knoAvn by the names of Franzensplatz^ 
Schioeizerhof, and Amnh'enhof. 

The Imperial Apartments may be 
visited Avhen the Emperor is absent 
from Vienna, but they are not very 
much distinguished by splendor or 
costliness. The Rittersaal or State 
Room is of handsome proportions. 
Some very beautiful pietre dura mo- 
saics of great value deserA^e especial 
attention ; but in other respects the 
apartments are very like all other 
apartments in royal palaces. 

In the same pile of buildings is the 
Imperial Library, containing upAvards 
of 300,000 volumes and 16,000 manu- 
scripts ; the Oriental manuscripts re- 
lating to Eastern history iii Europe be- 
ing unequalled. The library contains 
besides many rare books of unique 
character over Avhich the amateur or 
scholar Avill feast his eyes and re- 
joice his heart. The reading-room 
for reference and consulting the books 
is open daily. The collection of en- 
gravings and Avood-cuts, also con- 
nected Avith the library, comprises 
nearly 300,000 specimens of artists 
of all times, from the earliest periods 
in the history Of the art. 

The Cabinet of Natural History, 



54 



Vienna. 



adjoining the Imperial Library, con- 
tains a collection of a peculiarly in- 
teresting character, and greater in ex- 
tent than that of the British Museum 
in London. It will be useful to keep 
in mind that "the places of origin of the 
different specimens are indicated by 
the colors of the lines around the labels 
or tickets, viz. : America, green; Asia, 
yellow ; Africa, blue ; Australia and 
South Sea Islands, red; Austria, black; 
the rest of Europe no distinctive mark. 

The valuable Brazilian Museum. 
formed by the late Emperor, is incor- 
porated with the Imperial Museum. 
Some of the specimens are rare and 
curious. The collection of specimens 
of the salmon and sturgeon tribe is 
said to be very complete. There is 
also a collection of comparative anato- 
mij, and another of insects. This mu- 
seum is open once a week to the pub- 
lic, but daily for strangers willing to 
pay a small fee. 

Cabinet of Minerals, entrance from 
Augustiner-gang. — A very fine and 
comprehensive collection, well arrang- 
ed, and second to none in Europe ; 
and it is doubtful if equalled by any. 
The specimens are very fine, and some 
are unique. 

In the last saloon meteoric stones 
will excite surprise from their size ; 
one found in Bohemia weighing 100 
lbs., and another of 71 lbs. is said to 
have been hot when taken up imme- 
diately after its fall. 

The Treasury — A very rich and re- 
markable collection of regalia, pre- 
cious stones, jewelry, vestments, &c. 

The Cabinet of Coins and Antiqui- 
ties, adjoining the Mineral Cabinet, 
contains antique bronzes, terracottas, 
mosaics, ancient and modern gems, 
cameos, intaglios, vessels, figures in 
precious stones, &c., &c. 

It is impossible to enumerate or even 
to make selections from the vast trea- 
sures of art and nature contained in 
these collections ; but the visitor will 
not fail to view with gratification the 
salt-cellar of Benvenuto Cellini, which 
has been the subject of some contro- 
versy, but is the undoubted work of 
the celebrated artist, and which is 



known by report and tradition all over 
the Avorld. 

This completes what may be termed 
the Burg Group, than which a richer, 
more attractive and interesting can 
nowhere be met with. 

GALLERIES. 

The Belvedere. — An imperial 
chateau not now used as a residence, 
consisting of two distinct buildings, 
Upper and Lower Belvedere, with a 
garden between them, laid out in the 
formal old French style. 

It was erected by Prince Eugene of 
Savoy, who made it his residence, 1724 ; 
it is now of interest to the stranger as 
containing two of the finest collections 
in Vienna. 

The Picture Gallery in the ' ' Upper 
Belvedere" is well arranged in schools, 
and is faii'ly entitled to rank with 
those of Dresden and Munich, amongst 
the finest galleries in the world. 

The paintings are arranged as fol- 
lows : — 

1st Floor — the Dutch and Italian 
Schools. 

2d Floor— Old German, Old Flem- 
ish and Modern Works. 

Ground Floor — Italian, Flemish, 
Dutch and Modern paintings and 
sculpture. From the terrace in front 
of the buildings there is a fine view. 

The Ambras Collection, in the 
" Lower Belvedere," is a very famous 
and valuable collection of ancient 
armor, antiquities, paintings, jewel- 
lery, articles of vertu and curiosities. 
It derives its name from the Chateau 
of Ambras of the Archduke Ferdinand 
in the Tyrol (Anno 1696), where it 
was first formed, and where it re- 
mained until 1796. In 1806 it was 
re-arranged here, where it forms a 
prominent feature of attraction for 
visitors. The armor has prominent 
place, being said to be, if not the most 
complete, at least the most interesting 
collection in Europe, and therefore it 
may be said in the world. It occupies 
three rooms— the first contains eques- 
trian armor, most of the articles hav- 
ing historical associations of interest 
attached to them ; in the second room 



Galleries — Libraries.

the armor of German princes, war- 
riors and others, and in the third, 
Tyrolese, Italian, Spanish and mis- 
cellaneous. 

The fourth room contains portraits 
and busts of the House of Hapsburg 
of indifferent execution, but curious as 
illustrative of the history of the family. 
The genealogical tree of Rudolph of 
Hapsburg, kept here, is in the same 
way curious and interesting. There 
is also a large collection of miscella- 
neous portraits. 

The fifth room contains works of 
art, curiosities and specimens of natu- 
ral history, all of Avhich are in them- 
selves most attractive and interest- 
ing. 

The sixth room is devoted to a 
gorgeous and rich display of costly 
articles : jewels, trinkets, rock crystal, 
precious stones, goblets, carvings, sil- 
ver-plate, of rare workmanship and 
great intrinsic value. 

The Imperial Academy of Fine 
Arts, open on Saturdays by tickets, 
established as a school for all depart- 
ments of art, contains a collection of 
upwards of 800 good pictures, includ- 
ing several Murillos, a Titian, &c. 

Albertina. — Palace of the Arch- 
duke Albert on the Bastei, one of the 
finest collections of drawings and 
engravings in Europe, numbering 
upwards of 200,000, besides a valuable 
collection of maps and plans of battles, 
sieges, &c., and a library of 40,000 
volumes, containing some splendid spe- 
cimens of typography and binding. 

The Schonfeld Museum of Baron 
Dietrich-Backerstrasse, 673, contains 
rure specimens of carved work. 

Lichtexstein Gallery, in the 
Summer Palace, Alsergrund, open to 
the public daily. 

The Garden and Park are always 
open. 

It contains nearly 1500 paintings 
by old masters, and in the number 
many chpf d'csuvres by Titian, Ra- 
phael, Correggio, Rubens, Guido, 
Reni, Rembrandt, Carlo Dolci, Do- 
menichino, Giorgione, &c. The col- 
lection of engravings is also compre- 
hensive and select. 



Count Harrach's Gallery — 
Freiung 3, second floor — a small, 
well-arranged collection, comprising 
about 400 paintings by the old masters. 

Count Czernin's Collection, 
Josephstadt, in the Praterplatz, about 
300 paintings. 

The Picture Gallery of Count 
ScHONBORN, Reungasse, maybe seen. 
It is small but select. It contains a 
fine Rembrandt, on a painful subject, 
The Blinding of Samson. 

PUBLIC Al^B PBIVATE 
LIBRAKIES. 

The following list is taken from a 
little local guide published by Messrs. 
Ceroid & Sons, the well-known Eng- 
lish and foreign booksellers, Stephans- 
platz, where travellers will find a large 
assortment of books on all subjects, in 
all languages ; maps, plans, &c., &c. 
Both French and English are spoken 
in their establishment. 

The Imperial Royal Court Library 
(entrance from the Josephsplatz), 
was founded by Maximilian I. and 
thrown open to scientific men by Max- 
imilian II. Charles VI., the great 
monarch, caused the building in which 
it actually is to be built and adapted it 
to the purposes of a public institution. 
Its first librarian was Conrad Celtes. 
He was succeeded in this appointment 
by John Cuspiiiian, Wolgang Laziiis, 
and Hugo Blotius, which latter was 
the first who had the title of Imperial 
librarian conferred upon him. He was 
in his turn succeeded by Sebaf;tian 
Tengnagel, Peter Lambecius, Gentilotti. 
Garelli, the two Swieten, Denis, John 
Muller, &c. The most remarkable 
acquisitions which the court library 
can boast of are : the volumes col- 
lected by C. Celtes, John Faber, Bishop 
of Vienna, John Sambuk, Sebastian 
Tengnagel, Count Albert Fugger; Ty- 
cho Brahe, Marquis Cahrega, Kepler^ 
and Pater Gassendi ; but it may prin- 
cipally boast of the collections receiv- 
ed from Ambras, of those from the 
Archbishop of Valencia, the latter be- 
ing lavish in master-pieces of the an- 
cient Spanish literature, and the col- 
lection obtained from Prince Eugene.

Vienna. 



To these must be added about 15,000 
volumes of the most important works 
on science, best/editions, 290 volumes 
in folio, and 215 maps containing the 
most precious collection of engrav- 
ings. The number of printed works 
therein contained is computed at 
.300,000 A^ols. ; its manuscripts would 
iSll 20,000 vols., and its incunables 
(works that appeared during the in- 
fancy of printing, say before 1500), 
10,0*00. This library possesses 985 
Greek manuscripts, 2790 Roman man- 
uscripts on parchment, amongst oth- 
ers the fifth Decade from Titus Livius, 
brought over from Scotland by St. 
Suithert; 1 1, 157 manuscripts on paper; 
85 Hebrew manuscripts ; 1000 Orien- 
tal manuscripts (the richest collection 
of the kind extant, from Baron Ham- 
mer) ; 60 Chinese and Indian manu- 
scripts. Its collection of prints, the 
gift of Prince Eugene of Savoy, is 
computed at above 300,000. It has 
also a collection of music and one of 
autographs. 

The Private Library of the Emperor 
(at the Imperial Palace). This is 
one of the best collections of books 
extant ; it consists of about 60,000 
volumes and 1800 incunables. It is 
extremely rich in historical and scien- 
tific works on literature and the fine 
arts. Amongst other manuscripts may 
be seen a unique copy of the ethi- 
mystical Persian Poem "Rebabname," 
or the book of Citherius ; and amongst

Other Objects of Interest. 

Imperial Cabinet of Natural 

History. 

1st. Museum op Geology (Jo- 
sephsplatz), comprising nearly 71,000 
species and upwards of 500,000 speci- 
mens. 

This collection, which is very com- 
plete, occupies 24 rooms ; it has attach- 
ed to it a valuable library. 

2d. The Museum of Botany, 
University Botanic Garden, contains 
upwards of 80,000 specimens and a 
librarv. 



3d. The Museum of Mineralogy 
(Imperial Palace) founded by the Em- 
peror Francis the First, comprises 8 
sections : Mineralogy and Oryctog- 
nosy. Crystal Specimens (wooden 
models), Terminological Collection, 
Technical Collection, General Geology 
and Paleontology, Special Geology 
and Paleontology, Petrifactions, Me- 
teorolites and Aerolites. 

Stock im Eisen, at the entrance 
of the Graben — a post against the 
wall of house No. 1079 is so covered 
with nails that there is not room to 
insert another ; this is the Stock im 
Eisen, and is preserved here as a relic 
of olden time. The tradition con- 
nected with it is, that it is the trunk 
of the last remaining tree of the 
Wienewald, a vast forest which form- 
erly extended to this spot, now the 
heart of the city, and thai the locks and 
cramps Avith which it is secured were 
manufactured by an apprentice who 
sold himself to the devil ! Whether 
the transaction with the latter per- 
sonage was bona fide fact or fiction 
must alvrays remain matter of doubt, 
but it became a practice with appren- 
tice locksmiths, when setting out on 
their travels, to drive a nail into it, 
until now no space can be found for 
more. 

The Imperial Arsenal (Kaiser- 
liches Zeughaus), almost adjoining 
the Upper Belvedere, a building of 
great importance and vast size, con- 
taining spacious barracks, vast store- 
houses, armories, workshops of great 
extent, and the most attractive of its 
features for the visitor, a splendid 
armory or " Waff"en-Museum," only 
recently finished, admirably arranged 
and abundantly rich in rare speci- 
mens. It is open to the public three 
times a week, Tuesday, Thursday and 
Friday, from 9 to 3, but during the 
season of 1873 no doubt strangers 
will be admitted every day. 

An excellent description and guide 
to the museum, in French or German, 
by Major Prosig, can be obtained at 
the entrance for 25 kr. 

This collection suffered severely in 
the years 1805, 1809 and 1848 by the

spoliation of the invader and the 
plunder of the mob ; to repair which the 
Emperor Francis Joseph I. ordered 
that the rich collection of the Chateau 
of Luxemburg should 3'ield to the 
museum all weapons and armor that 
had value or interest, as connected 
with military science, archaeology or 
art. The Chamber of Venery also 
gave up all Aveapons not connected with 
the sports of the field, and from these 
and other sources of imperial munifi- 
cence the collection was enriched to 
such an extent that it now includes 
(without taking note of the trophies) 
upwards of 2000 pieces, most of which 
are of considerable value in connec- 
tion with the history of civilization, 
war and art. The building consists 
of a central hall of fine proportions, 
richly decorated, forming a vestibule 
crowded with portrait statues in mar- 
ble of celebrated commanders and war- 
riors, and a noble staircase adorned 
with frescoes, by which the Salle des 
TropMes is reached on tlie first floor ; 
this room or hall is richly gilded and 
covered with frescoes of no incon- 
siderable merit. The tout ensemble 
from the entrance is grand and strik- 
ing ; perhaps a little overdone with 
gold and a profusion of marble, but 
certainly most gorgeous and palatial. 
On either side of the Salle des Tro- 
pMes there are spacious well-lighted 
apartments, containing the armory 
where the numerous articles are ar- 
ranged as much as possible in chrono- 
logical order. In the rooms on both 
sides the Salle des Trophees will be 
found numerous objects of great in- 
terest, such as the buif jacket worn by 
Gustavus Adolphus, showing the hole 
made by the bullet which caused his 
death at the battle of Llitzen ; the 
standard of Mohammed, taken in 
1683 at the siege of Vienna ; the 
uniform of Prince Schwarzenberg ; a 
balloon used by the French for the 
purpose of reconnoitering in the field, 
&c. The chapel within the arsenal 
wall is also worth visiting. In front 
of the building, in the open air, a col- 
lection of cannon of all ages and all 
sizes will attract attention ; some of 



them are curious. Against the wall 
of the building there is displayed in 
festoons a chain of 8000 links, which 
was thrown across the Danube near 
Pesth or Buda, by the Turks, to im- 
pede the navigation, in the early part 
of the sixteenth century. The Manu- 
factory of Fire-arms may be visited 
by permission, but it is in no way 
remarkable beyond other such work- 
shops. 

The Imperial Stables (Hof- 
Stall Gebaude), opposite the Burg 
Thor, contains a collection of state 
and other carriages, sledges, harness, 
saddles, armor and various horse- 
trappings and furniture, a miscella- 
neous collection not without interest 
historically and artistically. 

The Civic Arsenal, in the Hof, 
contains a collection of armor and 
implements of war, and among its 
curiosities the skull of the strangled 
vizier, Kara ]M;istapha, and the silk 
cord used for his strangulation, which 
were brought to Vienna from Bel- 
grade after its capture. 

DANUBE STEAM ISTAVI- 
GATION. 

Until the year 1830 the Danube 
was a silent highway for rafts and 
primitive barges only, floating with 
the stream, the rapid current of the 
river rendering the navigation against 
stream impossible. In 1830 its wa- 
ters were first moved by a steamer 
started by an English speculator, who 
had the exclusive privilege granted to 
him. At first the progress of the en- 
terprise was slow, and many had 
doubts of its success 5 but it soon 
gained firm footing, and the company 
rapidly became prosperous to an ex- 
tent not surpassed by any modern en- 
terprise. In less than forty years, the 
fleet of the company has increased from 
a solitary boat to nearly two hundred 
of all sizes, for passengers and mer- 
chandise traffic from Donauworth in 
Bavaria to the mouth of the Danube, 
and thence to Constantinople and the 
East. Six hundred iron barges of great 
size hardly suffice for the growing 
traffic of merchandise, and the number

of passengers for the lower Danube is 
dail}'' on the increase, the boats of 
the company being clean, comfortable, 
well officered and well provisioned. 

A novelty for the Viennese this 
year will be the introduction of a 
small flotilla of omnibus steamers on 
the Danube Canal, from the centre of 
the town to and from the Exhibition 
Buildings in the Prater. 

The success of the venture is assured 
beforehand, and the establishment will 
become a permanent institution of Vi- 
enna, which cannot fail to be popular 
with all classes during the summer 
months. 

It is proposed this summer to or- 
ganize a system of through tickets for 
the I'ound trip by the Danube steam- 
ers and their connection with the Aus- 
trian Lloyds steamers, to enable the 
traveller to vary his return route by 
the Danube to Constantinople, Greece, 
Athens and Italy at one fare — a tour 
of rare beauty, opening up a new 
country full of classical and historical 
interest, accomplished with such ease 
and little cost as will render it a 
pleasure trip for even ladies and in- 
valids. 

The programme is not yet definitely 
arranged, but all particulars may be 
learned at the offices of the company in 
the Landstrasse Dampfschiffstrasse 2. 

The Danube service proper begins 
at Donauworth and ends at Galatz, 
but it has branches on the Theiss from 
Tokay and on the Save and the Drave, 
and it is in direct communication with 
the Austrian Lloyds steamers at Ga- 
latz for Odessa, and at Keistendjee 
for Constantinople.

RAILROADS. 

The Northern Railway (Kaiser 
Ferdinand's-iVo?'c?6a/zn) Station is at 
the Pratersten. This is one of the 
most frequented railway lines in Ger- 
many, establishing communications 
between the Austrian metropolis and 
Northern Germany, Poland and North- 
ern Hungary. It runs in a straight 
line to Oderberg, where it joins the 
Prussian Railway. 

The chief offices are at the station ; 
the forwarding-office (for tickets and 
merchandise, Bauernmarkt 4). 

The Western Railway (Kaiserin 
Elizabeth- IFesifta^n) opens the com- 
munication between Vienna and Up- 
per Austria, Southern and Western 
Germany. 

It is the direct road between Vienna 
and Paris. 

Chief office at the station outside 
the Mariahilf gate ; forwarding-office, 
Bauernmarkt 4. 

The Southern Railway (Sudbahn) 
communicates with the south of the 
empire and Italy. The art displayed 
in overcoming the difficulties with 
which the opening of this beautiful 
road over the Semmering was attended, 
and its picturesque position, are suffi- 
cient attractions to invite the stranger 
residing in Vienna to make a day's 
excursion to this mountain. 

The Southern Railway has branch 
lines between Modling and Laxenburg, 
and between Neustadt and Oedenburg. 
Its station is outside the Eavoriten- 
Linie (Wieden) where the Central 
Direction has its seat. Forwarding-

ENVIROTTS. 

HiTziNG, a village, about 3 miles 
from Vienna (train and omnibus), 
contains villas and summer residences 
of the Viennese, and throughout the 
summer is the favorite resort of natives 
and foreigners ; it has numerous re- 
staurants, cafes and dancing-halls ; 



Environs. 



61 



the restaurants of Domayer and 
Schwander have a wide reputation ; 
the cuisine at the former is excellent, 
and a dinner at 3 or 4 florins will 
leave the visitor little to desire. Fre- 
quent concerts are given in the gardens 
attached to Domayer's, where the 
prince and the peasant may be found 
daily feasting the senses in close neigh- 
borhood. In the Church-yard oppo- 
site there is a monument by Canova. 

ScHONBRUNN (bcautiful fountain). 
The imperial chateau and residence, 
one mile outside the Mariahilf lines. 
Train and omnibus every few minutes, 
this being one of the most frequented 
suburbs of Vienna. The Palace offers 
little to attract notice ; it is well fur- 
nished and kept, and is readily shown. 
It has however a melancholy interest 
attached to it, the Duke of Reich- 
stadt, only son of Napoleon I., having 
died here, 1832, at the early age of 21. 

The Gardens are of some extent, 
laid out in formal French style with 
statues, clipped hedges, &c. Stapps, 
the student Avho made the attempt to 
assassinate the Emperor Napoleon, 
was here summarily shot. 

The place takes its name from the 
beautiful fountain in the garden. On 
an eminence is a colonnade and tem- 
ple, from which there is a fine view. 

The Menagerie here contains a good 
collection of animals. 

Schonbrunn and Hitzing will occupy 
a full morning, visiting the palace 
and gardens first, then luncheon at 
Domayer's at Hitzing, distant § mile, 
where Sundays and f6te days are 
good days to see the Viennese in their 
glory indulging to their hearts' con- 
tent in good music, good fare, light 
amusements and beer and tobacco ; 
but if there is much fun, there is little 
co???/ort, and the traveller should pay his 
visit as an observer only on these days. 

Laxenbukg, distant one hour by 
rail, an imperial residence ; affords a 
most agreeable excursion, which may 
be combined with that to Schonbrunn. 
with which it is connected by a long 
avenue, taking the rail first to Laxen- 
burg. Here guides are readily met 
with, at the entrance to the park, who 



Avill be found useful to point out the 
many curiosities of the place. The 
grounds are well laid out, and the 
Feudal Castle of the Lake (a modern 
building) is crowded with objects of 
interest and curiosities. Several hours 
will be spent pleasantly here. 

Visitors will find a very fair 
restaurant here, where breakfast or 
luncheon can be taken. 

MoDLiNG and The Bkuhl, by rail 
one hour. Modling, a village, 3000 
inhabitants, at the entrance of the 
beautiful valley of the Briihl. Hotel 
indifferent, the Hersch. 

From the station to the Meierei or 
Farm there is an omnibus in 30 min- 
utes, but the traveller will do better to 
walk to the Meierei, where there is an 
inn. The Briihl is a narrow valley 
between rocks, abounding with natu- 
ral beauties, and with pleasure-grounds 
laid out by Prince Lichtenstein. Some 
of the ruins with which it is embel- 
lished are artificial, but others are the 
remains of feudal strongholds. 

In the Alte Schloss, one of the most 
ancient castles in Austria, there is 
shown the chamber of toi-ture. 

The Grounds are freely open to the 
public, and afford a most agreeable 
place of summer resort, and few stran- 
gers visit Vienna without a pilgrimage 
to this attractive spot. 

Baden, a small town of 4500 in- 
habitants; distant from Vienna 1 hour 
by rail, less by express, a very pleas- 
ant excursion. 

Hotels, — Stadt Wien, Redoubt, 
Fuchs, — none really good, but a fair 
average accommodation. 

Baden is much resorted to by the 
Viennese during the summer months, 
on account of its mineral waters. Nu- 
merous mansions and villas belonging 
to the imperial family and the nobility 
are kept up here, and preserve the 
character of the place as a toton, other- 
wise it would rank but as a village. 

There arc numerous rides and drives 
in the neighborhood ; and a pleasant 
day may be spent, leaving Vienna 
early in the morning, having luncheon 
at Baden, and then driving (Jiacres 
clean and good abound) for three or 



62 



Vienna. 



four hours in the environs ; or a day 
or two may be quietly spent here as a 
relief from the bustle of the city with- 
out fear of growing weary. 

DoRNBACH, three miles distant — 
train and omnibus every ten minutes ; 
fare, 8 kr. Dornbach is visited on 
account of its magnificent Park of 
vast extent, offering a variety of beau- 
tiful walks, rides and drives. A fine 
view is obtained from the hill, whei-e 
there is an hotel or inn, aff^ording rest 
and refreshment to the visitor. 

On fete days Dornbach is crowded ; 
it is a pretty village, abounding with 
villas and summer residences for the 
wealthy Viennese. There is a good 
restaurant in the village, and many 
houses of entertainment. On one of 
the quiet days the visitor will find it a 
calm and enjoyable retreat from the 
noise and bustle of the city. 

Pesth and Of en. — Few travel- 
lers will visit Vienna and not extend 
their journey to Pesth, the capital of 
Hungary. Buda or Ofen, the old 
town, on a hill on the right bank of 
the Danube, the seat of government, 
and containing the palace of the king, 
is connected with Pesth, the new town, 
on the left bank, by a handsome sus- 
pension bridge. Population upwards 
of .200,000 and increasing; the trade 
is considerable, and it has numerous 
manufactories. It is the finest and most 
prosperous city in Hungary, and is a 
gay and attractive place. The river 
is alive with moving craft, and the 
bustle of the commercial part gives 
life and animation to the scene. The 
sti'eets are wide, with handsome shops, 
and two or three days will be plea- 
santly spent in visiting the two towns 
and the environs. At the National 
Casino, near the river, there is an 
excellent restaurant. Game is abun- 
dant and the fish excellent. A visit 
to the cellars of any respectable wine 
merchant will not fail to interest the 
stranger. Those of Jalichs, an opu- 
lent and old-established merchant, are 
perhaps the best. Some of his wines 
are of great age and rare quality. 

At Pesth the traveller is on the 



borders of civilized Europe. When 
he embarks for the Lower Danube he 
meets the pioneers of Eastern man- 
ners and customs, and indeed before 
leaving Pesth he meets with languages 
and costumes unfamiliar to him. 

Good panoramic views of the town 
are obtained from the decks of the 
small steamers continually plying up 
and down, to and from the distant 
suburban village or town of Alt- Ofen, 
to which there is also a train along 
the bank of the Danube. The travel- 
ler will do well to take the steamer 
down to Pesth from Vienna, a day's 
journey of about twelve hours ; but 
on his return, take the rail, as the up 
steamer is tedious and at night, and 
stop for an hour or two at Preshurg. 

Hotels at Pesth. — Hotel de P Eu- 
rope, opposite the landing-place of 
steamers ; good restaurant, no table 
d'hote. 

Queen of England, Erzerzog Stephen, 
also on or near the Danube. 

Hotel de Hongrie, a new and large 
hotel, with upwards of 300 rooms, at 
prices from \Jl. 30 hr. to b ji. 

The hotels are good, with excellent 
cuisine, but somewhat deficient as to 
cleanliness and attention. The charges 
are high, quite as much as in Vienna. 

Presburg. — At one time the cap- 
ital of Hungary, and the city where 
the kings were crowned. Pop. 42,000. 

Hotels. — Griiner Baum, Rother 
Ochs, Goldene Rose ; none good, but 
sufficient for a meal or short stay. 

Presburg has lost all its importance, 
and is now a quiet provincial town. 

The Royal Palace, on the hill, was 
accidentally destroyed by fire a few 
years since — its walls only are left. 

The Kings of Hungary were crown- 
ed in the Cathedral, a Gothic structure 
with a handsome porch, but in no 
other way remarkable. After the cere- 
mony, the king repaired on horseback 
to a mound on the other side of the 
river, and from its summit brandished 
the sword of St. Stephen towards the 
four points of the compass, as token or 
pledge of his earnestness to defend the 
land against all comers.

SIDE ENTRANCE eXHIBITION BCILDINGr. 

The Exhibition buildings are situated in the Prater, the public Park of 
Vienna, and the finest park, many declare it, in the world. To increase the 
available space the Emperor has allowed his own private gardens to be added 
to the Exhibition grounds, which thus include within their enclosure some 
8,157,200 square feet — being five times the area occupied by the Paris Expo- 
sition of 1867, twelve times that of London in 1862, thirty times that of the 
original London World's P^^ir in 18.51. and one-fourth less than that of the 
pro'posed Centennial Exhibition to be held at Philadelphia in 1876. 

(67) 



68 The JExhibition. 

Of the buildings erected upon this site the principal one is the Industrial 
Palace, an enormous structure, more than half a mile in length. Its form 
has been likened to that of a " gridiron," and again to that of a " fishbone ;" 
with what justice may be discerned by a glance at the accompanying plan. 
The long gallery — which, in the fishbone nomenclature, constitutes the spine 
— is 2964 feet in length, and 80 feet in width ; and it is crossed at right 
angles and at equal distances by sixteen transepts, each of the thirty-two 
pavilions which they form having an area of 347 by 50 feet. At the centre 
of the long hall are the great rotunda and dome, designed by Mr. Scott 
Russell, the engineer of the Sydenham Crystal Palace, and of the Great 
Eastern. The dome, as originally projected by him, was to be a stupendous 
structure of more than 800 feet in diameter ; but successive reductions brought 
down its dimensions to a diameter of 370 feet, which still leaves it more than 
double the size of that at St. Peter's at Rome, the next greatest dome in the 
world, and a height of 2.50 feet. 

The arrangement of diflTerent nations among the exhibitors has been ad- 
justed upon a very simple and obvious plan — that of causing them to succeed 
one another in the order of their position upon the earth's surface. Thus, 
assuming the direction of the grand gallery to be from west to east — though 
in fact it is more nearly from north-west to south-east, — the westernmost of 
all the transepts — the one, by the way, first entered by persons arriving from 
the city — is occupied by North and South America ; next towards the east 
comes England, then Prance and Spain, Scandinavia, Germany, and so on, 
until at the remotest eastern extremity are found Cliina and Japan. The 
rectangles left between the pavilions were, by the original design, to have been 
occupied by flower gardens, laid out and adorned in accordance with the taste 
and resources of the nations to which they were assigned ; but the great 
excess of applications for space beyond the provision originally considered 
ample, has involved the enclosing and roofing of many of these areas, Avhich 
thus become integral portions of the Exhifcition building. 

Of the outlying structures, the most important is the Machinery Hall. This 
lies a few rods in the rear of the main building — that is, towards the Danube 
— and runs parallel with it, its length being 2600 feet, its breadth 160, It 
has been built substantially, being designed for use as a grand railway depot 
when the Exhibition shall have closed ; and for the present it is connected 
with the main building by covered galleries. In still another building, near 
by, are grouped agricultural machinery of every kind ; and others yet are 
devoted to exhibitions of fine arts, of horses and other animals, of educational 
appliances, while there are also pavilions for the Emperor, the officers of the 
Exhibition, the juries, &c., &c. 

The objects exhibited are classified, in the official programme, in 26 groups, 
as follows : — 

Group 1. Mining, Quarrying and Metallurgy. 

Group 2. Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry. 

Group 3. Chemical Industry. 

Group 4. Articles of Food as products of Industry. 

Group 5. Textile Industry and Clothing. 

Group 6. Leather and India-rubber Industry. 

(iroup 7. Metal Industry. 

Group 8. Wood Industry. 

Group 9. Stone, Earthenware- and Glass Industry. 

Group 10. Small Ware and Fancy Goods. 

Group 11. Paper Industry and Stationery. 

Group 12. Graphic Arts and Industrial Drawing. 



The JExhihition. 69 

Group 13. Machinery and Means of Transport. 

Group 14. Philosophical Instruments, Surgical Instruments. 

Group 15. Musical Instruments. 

Group 16. The Art of War. 

This group includes all objects and contrivances belonging to 
the equipment of the army and the relief of the sick and wounded. 
Group 17. The Navy. 

This group comprehends everything relating to navigation 
on the sea, on lakes and rivers, shipbuilding, the fitting out of 
ships, the construction of harbors and light-houses, life-boats and 
salvage. 
Group 18. Civil Engineering, Public Works and Architecture. 

In this group will be exhibited the plans and models of executed 
or pi'ojected works belonging to roads and railways, aqueducts, 
irrigation, drainage, reservoirs, canal and river embankments, 
private dwellings -and cottages, and public buildings (Houses of 
Parliament, theatres, hospitals, bathing establishments, public 
wash-houses, &c.), and also methods of lighting, ventilating and 
warming. 
Group 19. The Private Dwelling-House, its inner arrangement and 

decoration. 
Group 20. The Farm-House, its arrangements, furniture and utensils. 

In these two groups it is expected that the different nations will 
exhibit their peculiar forms and actual conditions of domestic life. 
Group 21, National Domestic Industry. 

This group is intended to make known the variety and abun- 
dance of valuable designs and forms which the productions of 
national domestic industry, such as ornaments, potteries, textures, 
&c. , contain. 
Group 22. Representation of the Influence of Museums of Fine Arts 
applied to Industry. 

The object of this department is to show the means by aid of 
which the modern museums of fine arts applied to industry (viz. : 
the South Kensington Museum in London and the similar museums 
in Vienna, Berlin, Moscow, &c.) endeavor to improve the public 
taste and diffuse artistic education. 
Group 23. Art applied to Religion. 

This group will contain all the products of industry and the 
works of fine arts which are employed in public worship. 
Group 24. Objects of Fine Arts of the Past, exhibited by Amateurs and 
Owners of Collections [Exposition des Amatenrs). 
This group has as its aim to enable the visitor to sec an exhi- 
bition of treasures of private collections of Avorks of fine arts, 
which are usually accessible only to a limited few, thus giving 
students and others engaged in artistic pursuits an opportunity 
to gain new ideas. 
Group 25. Fine Arts of the Present Time. 

This group will contain works of fine arts produced since the 
International Exhibition of London in 1862. 
Group 26. Education. Teaching and Instruction. 
This group will contain — 
(a) A representation of all objects and inventions which can 
assist in the education of a child and contribute to its physical, 
intellectual and moral development, from its birth to its entrance 
to school ; 



70 The Exhibition. 

(6) Educational and school matters, from the elementary school 
upwards to the technical school and the University ; 

(c) The entire system of instruction and culture, so far as it 
can be brought into view by products of literature, of the public 
press, societies, public libraries, graphic and statistical records. 

The principal features of the Exhibition are likewise set forth by the pro- 
gramme. 

There Avill be competitive trials of machinery, apparatus, processes and 
methods of work of different dates, showing their successive improvements ; 
for example : sewing-machines, weaving-machines, telegraphy, photography, 
&c. An attempt will thus be made to give an epitome of the history of 
inventions. In addition to this, an attempt will be made to place side by side 
the productions of machines and handwork, and to show how in some cases 
machines have superseded handwork, while in others they have aided and 
increased its products. 

By exhibiting also analogous products of industry, manufactured at differ- 
ent epochs, with their relative prices and with samples and models, it is 
intended to show the growing power of different industries, their dependence 
on the changes in taste, and their influence upon taste, as well as their import- 
ance in national economy at different epochs, thus exhibiting the history of 
industry. 

To show by a retrospective vicAV the influence of science on the progress and 
development of manufactures, there will be exhibited the gradual conversion of 
waste into use, or the increase in the employment of the former, by comparing 
the waste Avith the articles manufactured therefrom, and also the intei-mediate 
products, so far as these arc the result of inventions and discoveries since the 
first International Exhibition of London in 1851. 

A further aim in this Exhibition is to give the history of prices ; to exhibit 
from the chief districts of production the prices of more important articles, 
going as far back as possible, and placed side by side in average periods of five 
years, and illustrated by samples and specimens. 

To show the international exchange of products, a representation of the com- 
merce and trade of the world will be formed. For this purpose samples and 
specimens of the articles of trade and commerce of all the important harbors 
and seaports are to be exhibited. On each sample will be marked its origin, 
its destination, its price and value, the quantity of import and export, &c. ; 
along with these will be shown statistical and graphic tables, the movement 
of the navigation and commerce of each seaport during the last ten years. 

The intention just expressed of aiding the study of this Exhibition by the 
help of statistical and graphical tables will be carried into effect in all the 
departments of the Exhibition, by showing the industrial progress made by 
each country since the first International Exhibition of London in 1851, from 
official records. For example, there will be exhibited tables of the increasing 
areas of cultivated soil, the annual quantities of agricultural products, the 
value of the land, the interest on money, the traffic and capital of railways, 
the increase of population, &c., as they have appeared at each of the periods 
of subsequent international exhibitions, viz. : I'aris 1855, London 1862, Paris 
1867. Thus there will be shown the productive powers of different nations in 
the respective departments assigned to their products in the Exhibition build 
jng. On the other hand, all particulars of the different articles to be exhibited, 
such as the name of the exhibitor, the description of the objects, the price 
(which the exhibitor is at liberty to attach if he please), may be shown on 
labels attached to each article. In the same manner all other informations 
'jf public interest the exhibitor may wish to have published, such as the history 
and importance of the establishmept, its progressive development, its annual

production, may also be written or printed and annexed to the objects exhib- 
ited, in contradistinction to former international exhibitions, which confined 
these informations to the printed catalogue. 

For the purpose of rendering this Exhibition especially instructive and 
educational, it is intended to make comparative trials and experiments on 
processes new or hitherto little known. The value of objects exhibited will 
be submitted to practical tests. For example, experiments will be made re- 
garding the production of wines (application of the hydro-extractor, lieating 
of wines, &c.), trials with machine-tools of every description, application of 
the electric light, utilizing of aerostation (captive balloons, &c.), experiments 
with explosive materials, with steam-ploughs, transmission of power by wire 
ropes, locomotives, engines on common roads, steam fire-engines, &c. Lec- 
tures will be given on these subjects in a special lecture-room of the Exhibi- 
tion, and international prize problems issued ; as for example, on the best 
implements for the cultivation of beet-roots for the fabrication of sugar. 

Arrangements will be made for a series of temporary international exhibi- 
tions of such articles which, by their nature, do not admit of an exposition of 
long duration. They will comprise : — 

Living animals — horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, cats, fowls, game, 
fish, &c. 

Poulti-y, venison, butchers' meat, pork, &c. 

Dairy produce — milk, cheese, &c. 

Vegetable produce — fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, flowers, plants, &c. 

Living plants injurious to agriculture and forestry. 



72 The ExJdhition, 

Dynamometric experiments will be made on the tractive force of animals. 
Also international races at the time of the Exhibition of thoroughbred horses 
will take place, and for these races prizes will be awarded. Representations 
of all other kinds of sports (regattas, &c.), and also national games and plays 
will be arranged. Some of these temporary exhibitions will give rise to prac- 
tical experiments and practical discussions on the matters to which they refer. 
For example : the exhibition of dairy produce will give rise to a series of ex- 
periments on the improvements in manufacturing butter and cheese, &c. To 
enable the public to appreciate alimentary substances exhibited, refreshment- 
rooms (tasting pavilions) will be erected, where each exhibitor can sell sam- 
ples of his products, even in the shape of cooked food. 

During the Exhibition various international congresses and conferences will 
be arranged for discussing important matters, to which either the Exhibition 
itself may give rise, or specially selected as subjects of international discussion. 

More especially there will be international congresses of men of science, 
teachers and artists, physicians, directors of museums of fine art applied to in- 
dustry, teachers of drawing, architects, engineers, representatives of chambers 
of commerce, economists acquainted with the questions relative to banking and 
insurance, of agriculturists, foresters, mining engineers, &c. Among ques- 
tions subject to such discussion will be the following : The question of intellec- 
tual property, of the improvement of public taste, of the promotion and diffu- 
sion of arts of design, on economy of transport, on obtaining the highest 
efficiency of machines, on the extension and development of forest statics, 
on reducing the price of food, whether by increased production, better organiz- 
a;|ion of markets, reformed cookery or new methods of preserving food; on the 
nourishment and early rearing of an infant, on early healthful training and 
gymnastics, on the exertions of our time in regard to the curing of deformed 
children, on the education of woman and improvement of her social condition. 

An International Jury will be appointed to award the prizes. Each exhib- 
itor must declare whether he wishes or not to submit to the judgment of the 
Jury. If not, the object exhibited will be ticketed " Hors concours^' (not for 
competition). 

The awards granted by the Jury will be as follows : 

A. For the Fine Arts the prize will be given in the form of a Medal for 

Fine Ai-ts. 

B. For the other objects exhibited the prizes will be as follows : 

(a.) Exhibitors in former universal exhibitions will receive for the pro- 
gress they have made since the last Exhibition a Medal for Pro- 
gress. 

(6.) Exhibitors for the first time taking part in an Universal Exhibition 
will receive as reward for the merit they have shown in a national 
economical or technical point of view the Medal for Merit. 

(c.) Exhibitors whose productions fulfil all the conditions of refined taste 
in color or in form will have the Medal for Taste. 

(d.) There will also be given Diplo^nas of Merit, similar to the honorable 
mentions of former universal exhibitions. 

C. The assistants and workmen who, according to the statements made by 
the exhibitors, have taken a notable part in the production of a rewarded ob- 
ject, shall have the Medal for Co-operation. 

D. The merits of individuals or corporations who have promoted the education 
of the people, the development of industry or the national economy, or have 
specially promoted the intellectual, moral and material welfare of the working 
classes, shall be rewarded by special Diplomas of Honor.

The above table does not give all the denominations of coins in the various 
countries through which the traveller to and from Vienna may pass, but only 
the standards from which the values of other coins may be deduced. 

AUSTRIAN MONEY. 

It was stipulated at the monetary convention held in Vienna in 185.5, that 
the Austrian empire should henceforward adopt a monetary system more in 
conformity with the value of that of the other Confederate States of Germany. 
According to the new system, a pound of fine silver is equal to 40 fl. new 
Austrian currency, or to 30 Prussian dollars (Thaler), or to 52 tiers. 30krzrs. 
currency in Southern Germany. One Prussian dollar is therefore equal to l^^ 
Austrian florins, or to If florin of Southern Germany. 

An Austrian florin has 100 kreuzers (copper money). 



AUSTRIAN GOLD COINS. 

The Gold Crown is worth 
" Double Gold Crown is worth 
*' Ducat " 



7 fl. 00 kr. 

14 fl. 00 kr. 

4 fl. 70 kr. 



AUSTRIAN SILVER COINS. 

There are in silver : coins of 2 florins ; of 1 fl. 50 kr. (Vereinsthaler) ; of 
1 flor. ; of I flor. (50 krs.) ; of I flor. (25 krs.) ; of 20 krs. ; of 10 krs. ; of 
5 krs. 

Copper coins are of 4 krs., 1 kr. and | kr. 

There are yet a few coins in circulation belonging to the old monetary sys- 
tem called " Conventional Currency;" such are : the 2 florin silver coins* 
equal to 2 fl. 10 krs. of the actual currency ; 6 conv. krs. current for 10 krs. 
new currency, and the 3 kr. bits worth 5 krs., new currency. All silver coins 
bearing upon them the date !858 belong to the old monetary system. 

Austrian bank-notes of 1, 5, 10, 50, !00 and 1000 florins are current 
throu<ihout the empire, but the bank not exchanging its paper for coin, it re- 
sults that the latter, whether gold or silver, is submitted to an agio (about 12

per cent.) which varies daily according to the greater or lesser demand for it. 
Since a few years, however, the state of the Austrian bank has considerably 
improved, and it is generally believed and hoped that the agio on gold and 
silver Vvill soon entirely subside. 

Bills drawn from Vienna or other points upon Paris, London, the United 
States, &c., &c., are of course subject to the current rate of exchange.

the figures and letters in the right hand column indicate the location on the map. 
For instance, if it is desired to find " Graben — Bezirke I., location 5 D," a reference 
to the map will show that Berzirke I is Innerstadt ; now look at the top of the map 
for the column marked 5, and at the side for the one marked D, and in the square 
formed by the intersection of the two, Graben wilt be found.]

THE NEW YOEK TRIBUNE. 

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE strives now, as it has striven heretofore, to be first 
of all and pre-eminently a newspaper. In the promptness, accuracy, fullness, clear- 
ness, interest, variety, and convenient and attractive arrangement of its news, its ambition 
is to be the foremost journal of the world. 

Years of patient labor and costly preparation have created for it extraordinary facili- 
ties for the collection of intelligence both at home and abroad. Not only the common 
events of the day, but the tendencies of popular thought and the currents of political, 
social, intellectual and religious discussion are faithfully reproduced in its columns. Its 
correspondents watch the growth and development of American communities ; the pro- 
gress of republicanism in Trance and Spain ; the spread of democratic principles in Eng- 
land and Germany ; the ferment pervading the whole Continent, caused by the conflict 
between the advances of physical and social science and the philosophical, theological, 
and material ideas of a past epoch ; the exciting race between Great Britain and Russia 
for the supremacy in Asia ; the wonderful awakening of Japan ; and the progress of 
European and American civilization in China. la all the great centres of activity The 
Tribune has its agents, and no expense is ever spared to give its readers the fullest and 
quickest intelligence of what passes in every quarter of the globe. 

American industry receives now, as always, a large share of THE TRIBUNE'S attention. 
The successes, the trials and the wants of the productive classes are studied with par- 
ticular care. The progress of Invention and of Labor-saving contrivances, the develop- 
ment of our resources, the preservation of our Public Land for the Landless, the utiliza- 
zation of our vast mineral resources, the extension of facilities for bringing producer and 
consumer together, receive from this paper the fullest attention and encouragement. 

To scholars and to men of the learned professions and of studious leisure THE TRIB- 
UNE endeavors to make itself especially acceptable. It has excited a widespread interest 
by the publication of full reports of the most valuable lectures, scientific and literary, 
and its careful and comprehensive summaries of scientific news, reports of discoveries 
and explorations, narratives of voyages, full record of the proceedings of learned socie- 
ties, and attention to the cause of school and university education. While it can point 
to the admirable accounts of the discoveries and labors of Agassiz, prepared for it by ex- 
President Hill ; the reports of scientific and agricultural conventions from the pen of 
Prof. D. C. Gilman; the papers of Prof. E. L. Youmans; and the contributions of Prof. 
Spencer F. Baird, of the Smithsonian Institute, any more elaborate programme of its in- 
tentions would seem superfluous. 

In politics THE TRIBUNE is the champion of Equal Rights, irrespective of Race, Na- 
tivity, or Color. Independent of partisan ties, but firm in its devotion to Republican 
principles, it endeavors to fulfill the ideal of its illustrious founder, Horace Greeley, as 
the advocate of that national policy to which the preservation of the Union is owing, but 
the frank and fearless enemy of wrong, whether in the Republican party or in any 
other. It defends its convictions to the extent of its ability ; but in its news columns it 
remembers that its readers have a right to see both sides of every controversy, and to 
get the whole truth of every question, whether it tells for or against the political theo- 
ries of the conductors of the paper. 

And finally, THE TRIBUNE holds that the new era of journalism which is now dawning 
must be distinguished by decency of language, candor of statement and moderation in 

[12] 



1873.— VIENNA HAND-BOOK ADVERTISER. 



debate. It eschews the coarse invective and vulgar insolence which have so often marred 
the political controversies of the past ; it avoids slanders and personal quarrels ; it is a 
paper for gentlemen and ladies — fit for the parlor, the study, an^ the borne fireside, 
rather than the bar-room. In its editorial department it commands the pens of many 
of the ablest, most thoughtful and most brilliant writers whom the newspaper profession 
has yet produced; and it constantly aims at a higher literg,ry standard and a wider and 
wider culture. 

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE contains a careful summary of news, a very large propor- 
tion of agricultural information, a careful selection of literary and miscellaneous reading, 
and the cream of the correspondence and editorial matter of the Daily Edition.

The Evening Post continues to be, as it has been for seventy years, 
the earnest advocate of national unity, of popular government, of 
the purest public morality, of equal rights for all men, of freedom 
in opinion, in speech, and in trade. It is not a partisan journal, but, 
holding the essential principles of the Republican party to be true, 
it has warmly supported the candidates of that party whenever they 

have fairly represented its principles. It will still contend for equal 
rights against all forms of slavery and proscription •, for civil service 
reform 5 for the distribution and responsibility of power ; for 
economy, honesty and fidelity in the administration of public crusts ; 
for the elevation of the masses through the reconciliation of Capital 
and Labor ; for the spread of intelligence and education ; and for 
the cause of the whole people against all factions, monopolies and 
personal ambition. Freely criticising the public acts and views of 
statesmen in both parties, it will always be resolute in its devotion 
to principle. 

The Evening Post aims to supply all that intelligent families can 
desire in a newspaper. Every noteworthy event is chronicled in its 
telegraphic and other news columns as it occurs, making them a con- 
tinuous history of the world. No sentence is admitted into any part 
of the paper which may not properly be read in the family circle. 
Its literary intelligence, and its notices and criticisms of all that is 
new in literature and art, will be full, able and impartial. Its scien- 
tific department is enlarging as popular interest in such subjects 
extends and deepens, and will receive frequent contributions from 
the highest scientific authorities in the country. The correspondence 
of the Evening Post from all parts of Europe and of this country, 
is full, varied and able, and it is steadily improving. Its financial 
and commercial reports are well known for their accuracy and impar- 
tiality. Its agricultural information is complete and trustworthy 
Its shipping news, its court reports, and its annals of all public 
events are prepared with the utmost care. 

We will supply the Evening Post as follows : 

Daily, one year, $12, or $1 per month ; Semi-Weekly, one year, 
$3 ; Weekly, one year, $1 50. 

The Postage, which must be prepaid, is as follows: 

To England or France, 2 cents per copy. 

To Germany, 3 cents per copy. 

To Austria, Italy, or Belgium, 4 cents per copy.

GRAND CMTRAl BOTH 

NEW YORK CITY. 




The Proprietor of the Grand Central Hotel takes great pleasure in 
announcing to the travelling public and the community generally, that after 
two years of incessant labor and an expenditure of two millions of dollars, 
the above mammoth marble Hotel is now completed, and open for the recep- 
tion of guests= 

The great advantages of this Hotel, with reference to its superior location, 
its vast size, unsurpassed accommodations and magnificent resources, render 
a statement of its claims to public patronage appi'opriate in this circular. 

It is situated on Broadway opposite Bond, and occupies nearly the entire 
block between Bleecker and Amity Streets, including the following numbers : 
667, 669, 671, 673, 675 and 677, of that thoroughfare, and 204 to 216 inclusive, 
on Mercer Street. 

It is eight stories in height, and embraces more area than any hotel on this 
continent or in the world, and is capable of entertaining 1500 guests. It 

(16) 



1873.— VIENNA HAND-BOOK ADVERTISER. 



contains 630 rooms, 200 of whicli are en suite of from two to four eaeh suite, 
provided with large pantries, wardrobes, bath-rooms and closets, including 
hot and cold water in each, the remainder varying in size and location, which 
only a Hotel of such magnitude could possibly offer. 

Its entrances, of which there are four, are broad and spacious, and lead to 
no less than five wide and commodious stairways, the main and principal one 
being entirely of marble. 

In connection with the first floor, there are two large and powerful steam 
elevators, capable of conveying guests to the highest story, in 30 seconds, 
with intermediate rests on every floor. 

The three extensive Dining Rooms seat 600 guests at one time. The vast 
resources of the establishment in efficient servants, permitting that division 
of labor so essential to a prompt and impartial attention to the wants of all. 

The furniture of the Hotel is of the newest and most elegant character, 
having been manufactured expressly for this house. 

The carpets were made to order in Europe, of the richest and most expensive 
material, being of Axminster and Wilton. The parlor carpets were especially 
designed to add to the almost Eastern splendor of the Hotel, while the heaviest 
of French plate glass mirrors, together with the richest and latest ornamental 
furniture, add to the reception rooms and parlors all that the taste, the comfort 
and happiness of the guests could require. 

Beneath the Gtrand Exchange is the Billiard Room, containing 18 tables, 
all new and of the most celebrated make. 

Attached to the Hotel is a Newspaper Depot, Telegraph Office and Railroad 
Ticket Office, combining all the requisites and requirements of a great and 
public enterprise. 

It is in the very centre of the great retail houses, including the celebrated 
one of Messrs. A. T. Stewart & Co., making its location one especially adapted 
to the wants of a large portion of the travelling public. 

Notwithstanding all these great and unequalled advantages in location, 
accommodation, and even splendor, the proprietor wishes to say that the terms 
for board and rooms are only from $3 to $4 per day, according ta the location 
of apartments. 

He believes this will fill a great vacancy now felt by the public, where the 
highest comforts and first-class accommodations are offered at prices to meet 
the demands of the great Mercantile community and Families, which never 
before has been fully supplied. 

Hoping to meet the approval and endorsement of the general public, and to 
prove worthy of their long and continued patronage, he respectfully and cor- 
dially invites an examination and trial of the superior comforts, accommoda- 
tions and advantages above set forth.

PROPRIETOR.

UNITED 




STATES 



1776.-lnternational Exhibition— 1876. 

IN 

Commemoration of the One Hundreth 

Birthday of the Nation. 



The Congress of the United States of America, having enacted that an International 
Exhibition should be held in the City of Philadelphia in 1876, public attention is now 
invited to the proposed programme. 

This Exhibition is to be international and universal — international, inasmuch as all 
nations will be invited t j participate in it ; and universal, because it will include a repre- 
sentation of all natural and artificial products, all arts, industries, and manufactures, and 
all the varied results of human skill, thought and imagination. 

The outlines of a simple yet comprehensive classification have been adopted. There 
will be ten departments, each subdivided in ten groups, and these again into classes. 
These details of this classification are now being elaborated, and will be published in due 
season, together with such rules and regulations as may be found necessary for the proper 
conduct and management of the exhibition. 

It is intended that ample space shall be assigned to each state, territory, and foreign 
country, for a just and proper display of their products. It is belived that not less than 
fifty square acres of floor space, under roof, will be required for this purpose. A site 
combining the advantages of a sufficient extent of level ground, with picturesque and 
cultivated surroundings, easy of access by rail, water, and by ordinary roads, has been 
assigned for the buildings and grounds at Fairmount Park, in the City of Philadelphia. 



The Exhibition to be 
opened on Wednss av, 
April 19th, 1876, with ap- 
propriate ceremonies, in 
which the President of th e 
United States, the Mem- 
bers of the Cabinet, Gov- 
ernors of States, Senators, 



Hon. JOSEPH B. HAWLE7 
President. 




etc., together with Repre- 
sentatives of all Foreign 
Nations, will participate. 
A cordial invitation is 
extended to every Nation 
of the F-arth, to be repre- 
sented by its Arts, Indus- 
tries, Progress and De- 
velopement.

OOKS OF TRAVEL 



SAUNTERINGS. 

By Charles Dudley Warner, author 
of " My Summer in a Garden." 16mo. 
$1.50. 

" This book contains a little about Eng- 
land and France, more about Switzer- 
land and Holland, and a great deal con- 
cerning South Germany and Italy. It is 
uniform with H. H.'s 'Bits of Travel,' 
and is not so unlike that book as it is 
different from most books of travel. 
There ,is not a dull page in it ; but it 
glows with a quiet drollery and a genu- 
ine wit that is refreshing, and not pro- 
voking, as wit too often is." — Springfield 
Republican. 

THE LANDS OF SCOTT. 

By Jambs F. Hunnewell. 
1vol. 12mo, $2.50. 

"It is a delightful epitome of the great 
author's life and works ; the reader being 
introduced to a detailed acquaintance 
with these, while he is led through the 
localities which the genius of Scott has 
celebrated. Those who cannot cross the 
ocean will visit the scenes of his living 
romance in its pages ; and those who can 
may double their pleasure by making 
this volume their cornpagnon de vcyage." 
— Buffalo Courier. 

VENETIAN LIFE. 

By W. S. HowELLS. 12mo. $2.00. 
"Mr. Howells deserves a place in the 
first rank of American travellers. This 
volume thoroughly justifies its title ; it 
does give a true and vivid and almost a 
complete picture of Venetian life." — Pall 
Mall Gazette. 



ITALIAN JOURNEYS. 

By W. S. Howells. 12mo. $2.00. 
"The reader who has gone over the 
ground which Mr. Howells describes 
will be struck with the life-like fresh- 
ness and accuracy of his sketches, while 
he will admire the brilliant fancy which 
has cast a rich poetical coloring even 
around the prosaic highways of ordinary 
travel." — New York Tribune. 



BITS OF TRAVEL. 

ByH. H. 1vol. 16mo. $1.50. 

"Some one has said, that if one could 
open the mail-bags and read the women's 
letters they would be more entertaining 
than any books. This volume is an open 
mail-bag, for-warded from Germany or 
Rome, or the Tyrol. The faded wonders 
of Europe turn out to be wholly fresh 
when seen through a fresh pair of eyes, 
and so the result is very charming." — 

T. W. HlGGINSON. 



UPS & DOWNS ON LAND 
AND WATER. 



By Augustus Hoppin. 
$10.00. 



Oblong folio. 



" ' Ups and Downs on Land and Water' 
is fairly an outbreak of graphic genius. 
It consists of a pictorial delineation of 
picturesque places, and humorous char- 
acters, seen or encountered in the Euro- 
pean tour through England, France, 
Switzerland, and Germany." — Appleion's 
Journal. 



CROSSING THE 
ATLANTIC. 

By Augustus Hoppin. Oblong folio. 

$5.00. 

'" Crossing the Atlantic' is entirely 
distinct from ' Ups and Downs by Land 
and Water,' but is of the same artistic 
excellence and humorous suggestive- 
ness. The salient features of an ocean 
steamer's voyage, its discomforts, amuse- 
ments, and picturesque incidents, are 
delineated with graphic skill and de- 
lightful effect." 



SIX MONTHS IN ITALY. 

By George S. Hillard. 16mo. $2.00.

a sort of manual for travellers who visit 
Florence and Rome."— Geo. Ticknor.

EXTRACT FROM PREFACE 

TO THE 

Index Register." 



ALTHOUGH, no doubt, many of the cases mentioned in this volume 
have been disposed of and many others are insignificant in amount, 
sufficient remain to reward the labor of research, as the amount of money 
unclaimed, disputed, or in abeyance in Great Britain and its dependencies 
may be calculated, not by millions or tens of millions, but by hundreds of 
millions of pounds sterling. These figures at fii'st startle the reader, but 
reference to a few facts will modify the doubt which at first sight may 
arise. 

In a parliamentary return of the Court of Chancery, the amount of 
stock and securities unclaimed, exclusive of suitors' cash, is stated to be 

In the year 1850 there appeared a report on the defalcations of the 
registrar of one of the Supreme Courts of India, showing the misappropria- 
tion of upwards of 682,905 rupees, and in another case upwards of 
500,000 rupees, out of funds in their hands, from unclaimed estates, the 
value of which may be guessed at from the above items of deficiency only. 

Another parliamentary return, as to prize money, contams an item, 
showing that a very large sum has been withheld from the captors, which 
now amounts, with interest, to upwards of ;i^6oo,ooo. 

In the year 1804 a firm of army agents became bankrupt, and a 
sum of ;i^66,ooo and upwards was paid to the Crown, for dividends accru- 
ing to officers, creditors under the estate, now receivable by their 
representatives. 

The above are but a few random facts and figures out of many 
within reach of every one, and will give some idea of the magnitude 
of sums involved in the words "Unclaimed" or "Disputed;" and when 
it is considered that the Bank of England, the East India House, the 
Treasury, the Court of Chanceiy, the Courts of Bankruptcy and 
Insolvency, the Army and Navy Prize and Pay "Offices, and numerous 
other quarters, have unknown but very large sums coming under that 
denomination, the surprise will cease at the statement of hundreds of 
millions of money unclaimed not being a fiction, but a fact.
